not even Trump supporters.

The reason Paul Ryan is letting this go down is because he has as much to hide as Trump.

If so I envy you! (You have to have plenty of cash if you want to immigrate to Canada!)

They won't take me. I'm not in a career field on their highly skilled list.

I'm definitely getting scared, and I'm 2 minorities.

I know, I did it wrong, I was supposed to leave the country if Obama lost the election. But honestly I'll take living somewhere where workers have rights, where you won't go bankrupt if you have a serious medical condition (or die if you can't afford insurance/medication/treatment), where getting shot is not something that you generally have to worry about, and where religious fanatics don't have any influence over policy over the USA, which is hideously dysfunctional, horribly broken, and well on its way to being a failed state if it's not there already. I thought Brexit was bad, but Trump's election made me realise things could always be worse.

The stakes of the Mueller investigation are that high. If Trump can eliminate the Mueller threat to him, the rule of law no longer matters and we are ruled by a despot. And Trump is the most vindictive person imaginable, he is going to start rounding up political opponents very soon if Mueller can't stop him. After that they will start rounding up those perceived as hostile to the administration.

After Mueller is removed, there is nothing to stop totalitarianism flourishing.
