if Trump isn't stopped by Mueller soon we'll never be able to recover. We'll be stuck with him.

(5,270 posts)even if Mueller recommends impeachment, Repubs in Congress will drag their feet until Dems take over Congress a year from now and even then the impeachment process can take months.

Key fact hiding in plain sight: Mueller likely cant refer charges 2 Congress without sign-off from Rosenstein, @samthielman reports. Since he also may not be able to indict a sitting prez, it means Mueller may not have control over the results of his probe

The election will be greatly affected if the probe is concluded before or after.
Before: trump and the repugs, including all those retiring and getting out before the blue wave hits them will be diminished in their effectiveness.
After: Dems will most likely take over at least the House and trump will get nothing through then.
trump and the repugs know this and know that there is not just smoke but actually fire, which is why they're trying so hard to not just get rid of Mueller but to discredit the FBI and the DOJ.
They're trying to destroy institutions of our government to save trump and their own asses.
Oh, yeah, you can bet there's fire.

(53,788 posts)but if it doesn't get him out trump and the repugs have a trillion dollar infra-structure bill on their agenda which would put dems in an awkward and weak position.
How could we be against improving the power grid, the bridges, roads, high-speed rail, 100+ year-old sewer systems, ageing airports?
Maybe we should bargain hard as wellagree to the infra-structure bill in exchange for no wall and DACA and other immigrants a fair and definite path to citizenship.
