Right but Trump doesn't have the mob to narc on like he did in the 80s and 90s...and he doesn't have the GOP to ignore his crimes like he did when he was impeached. (twice!) Look up the conviction rate of federal prosecutions it is pretty ridiculous and he isn't exactly going to have great lawyers, or even a real defense!
There is a reason the GOP is freaking out, they hitched their wagons to a guy who admitted to people WHO HE DOESNT REALLY KNOW WHILE BEING RECORDED that he knew what he was doing was wrong, that he didn't have the authority to do it but he did it anyways. And why did he tell them...TO FRIGGIN BRAG! The fact that the document he is bragging about on tape is missing and the fact that other documents may have been damaged in his possession and were never secured (and he lied, stonewalled, lied again and got lawyers to lie for him) really sealed the deal.
He can't just will this one away. The GOP will try their best to help (I expect Jack Smith and Garland and half the DOJ to be subpoenaed ASAP) but short of either him finding a way to stall it out (unlikely since he is now indicted) or the courts full on just wiping away the rule of law completely this one is going to stick. I mean the Watergate Tapes weren't this damning...the only difference is back then the GOP had a few scruples left.
I posted this in the GOP thread but it fits here too. This is how the GQP is obfuscating and how much Faux wishes they wouldn't:
