The activities being investigating are nothing short of stealing the US Presidency.

(1,474 posts)I hope you are correct and he is indicted. Mueller must contend with the bulk of the GOP. Pence is obviously implicated. Ryan is also - remember him saying "this stays in the family" and then claiming it was a joke. McConnell has at least been complicit in taking illegal contributions from Russia. The entire leadership of the GOP is criminal and the tentacles sink deep into the other members.
Just observing the GOP actions confirms the complicity of the entire party. The GOP is an organized criminal mob in control of our government. Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.
I realize all of this is obvious and well known to DU members, but there will be a Hell of a Fight to purge the criminals. Civil War? Sounds extreme, but with NRA and gun nuts drinking their kool-aid, I fear for American lives. GOP is fine with AR15 slaughters so should we expect a peaceful removal of this evil from our government. Please convince me I am wrong.

But when indictments are issued and defendants are named, the process continues regardless of political rhetoric. I dont think that any kind of open rebellion will commence. The legal system works quietly, deliberately.
Lets also remember that FNC is also a target in a counterintelligence investigation: conspiring with a foreign power to damage the United States through disseminating propaganda in a coordinated fashion.
