(2,052 posts)Let's say there are a bunch of Republicans in Congress who are already afraid of a wave election with voting beginning in 10 months. And let's say they are afraid Trump already has them in serious trouble and will only get worse. And let's say none of them know any way to explain to their constituents why we are invading Venezuela and turning Ukraine over to Putin.
Some of them might crank up the heat. They may not have the courage to push the Alzheimer President out, but they very easily could force the drunken Secretary out.
Meanwhile, there are high officers who knowingly followed obviously illegal orders. They might have a very good incentive to come clean now or otherwise risk criminal punishment in 2029.
It is not hard to imagine lots of people standing in line to help throw the drunk guy under the bus. It is actually hard to see who would want to defend the guy at this stage.
But it all depends on Republicans doing something right. I'm not ready to bet my house on that.
