He’s a “GOP forever” guy - worked for Bush on recounts, clerked for Scalia (and other severely right-wing judges), i.e. he’d have no problem changing the scope of the investigation to something so narrow that Mueller would basically have to stop working.

It’s teetering on the brink as it is; it’s not going to take much to send it tumbling. This is sad and frightening. I hope we make it to November in one piece.

Francisco can’t quash Mueller immediately. It will take time. If Dems flipnthe House, DoJ will have some oversight. In such a case, it will be a wild ride through January! I expect some lame duck shenanigans. If Dems don’t flip the House...<shudder>

If Dems take the House, that can at best slow the damage a little. It won’t stop or reverse it. We need

Don't underestimate the power of those committees. But, I do agree the House isn't enough. Flipping the Senate is what it would take, in the short term. At that point, presidential nominees would get actual hearings that aren't just a rubber stamp.
-
The committees can investigate, but if you can’t get 2/3s of the Senate to give a crap what they find, it doesn’t matter. Because Trump will remain unimpeached and so still have veto and pack the courts and control law enforcement. This’ll be decided on power, not facts.

The putsch is upon us, and Twitter is aflame with whether norms of journalistic ethics at the NYT were technically broken or not.

There was NO reasn for that third person piece 2 be publshed at this time. What for? Did we need 2 know anything that it containd? The ONLY thing that it would accomplsh would b the firing of Rosnstein. THEY KNEW THIS. Schmidt & NYT will b respnsble 4 Muller's termination.

I agree. My point was that centrist journalists will go to the firing squad still feeling righteous that they obeyed the rules and weren't being "political".
-
No doubt. Well said. It's nonetheless disappointing that otherwise seemingly sensible people KNEW the outcome and went ahead. Put me on the squad

there is no rule of law. have you not noticed people of color being shot almost at will by local cops w/little to no recourse? Have you not noticed rich people can stand in the middle of 5th ave and shoot someone and no one cares?

I hope Mueller has plan b in his back pocket. It's been said that parts of his findings are all over different DA's offices. That could stretch this forever. We can't allow him to b fired. But Turtle won't bring the protective bill to the floor. What to do? Aarrggghhh!!

Isn’t he conflicted as a former lawyer for the Trump Org/Campaign?

I'm not into speculation about who might be in charge of any investigation. I'm done with fear mongering. Wait to see if any GOP committee tries to reign in P45. Should they not; it is a Constitutional Crisis. How to solve it?
