Josh Marshall has been all over one aspect of the Trump story, which is Trump's longtime financial dependency on Russian money. As he summarizes here, the special counsel has pretty free rein to investigate any tangents from the original probe of Russian interference in the election. If they are looking at Trump's crimes beyond the idea that he colluded with the Russians over Wikileaks and other acts, then Trump is likely in trouble.
The problem, of course, is that we are likely to see the following outcomes:
1) A bunch of Trump's campaign people go to jail for working with the Russians.
2) Trump gets exposed as a money launderer with extensive ties to organized crime.
3) No one cares, because there's no blow job involved.
