The latest book Rachel is featuring is by Andrew Weissmann, a member of the team that was supposed to do the Mueller Report.  Supposed to.  It seems to tell more about why nothing could be done if you were very aware that the subject of the investigation could fire the investigators.

The consensus was that sometimes it is your job to step on the proverbial landmine.

I guess it doesn't really matter. When they caught Trump in further wrong-doing the Republicans just exonerated him. They would have done that even if the Mueller Report had been fully told. So, it's up to the voters to make the decision to fire him, unless Trump usurps power by getting "rid of the ballots."

Because Trump is incorrigible, we're facing an existential crisis.  A less disreputable adversary would make this just another high stakes election.

Yes, and I extend that description of "incorrigible" to today's Republican Party.

The Republican Party of Nixon's time was less incorrigible, and so was Nixon, so we got through it. Now it's different.
