With Orrin third in a line behind Pence and Ryan to replace Trump a lot of things have to fall in place. But, the pieces are certainly there.
Odds Don resigns are probably pretty good right now. So, let's say that within a year or less that is a done deal.
Now, of course, Pence is nowhere near as embroiled in this malarkey as Don, but is he clean? I'd say not likely. At the very least, as head of Trump's transition team, he knew more about Flynn than he has let on. Perhaps he even covered up what he knew. And, if so, therein lies the danger. I'd say, Pence is in at least as much hot water as Don.
Then comes Paul Ryan. What did he know and when? Well, we know he knew Trump was on the Russian payroll---he was caught on tape telling the other House Republicans to stop talking about that. Is that enough to take him down? I doubt it. But, where there is one cover up, more are sure to lie beneath it.
President Orrin Hatch would be a pretty good ending to this current nightmare. What say you?
