The Scramble: Are We Nearing The End Of The Trump Presidency?

Does the investigation of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen signal the beginning of the end for the Trump presidency? 

Stories of shady business dealings between the Trump Organization and foreign leaders with questionable ethics are not new.  They did business with a likely money launderer associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard in 2016 and there are criminal investigations of the organization's business deals in Brazil. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

Michael Cohen knows about all of it.  Investigators have his records. Will special counsel Robert Mueller and Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein get fired? What happens if they do? And, what do you make of last night's interview with James Comey ?

Also this hour: After seventeen years of war, has America lost its way?
