Survival, Mueller is the real deal. When he brings forth charges they will be foolproof. It will shock the American people.
We are talking obstruction of justice, election fraud, cyber crime just to name a few.
If the Republicans refused to act against these proven crimes they would set off a firestorm. They would no longer be able to function in their jobs. Everywhere they went people would be after them, calling them traitors. It would become very unsafe for them.
I sure you have noticed what has happened recently to Republicans. They are being hounded as they dine, they are being hounded every where. It would get much worse if they did not uphold the law. There are to many Americans who love this country, who believe in the rule of law. If the Republicans fail to uphold their oath, the rule of law, the patriots of America will rise up and strike back at them with great passion.
Of course the Tea party nutbags will not impeach but that does not matter. There is not enough of them to block impeachment
