It would start within minutes of special counsel Robert Mueller being fired a torrent of activity ricocheting through the halls of Congress and over television airwaves, including nearly a thousand protests being prepped from the Virgin Islands to Alaska, NBC News reports.
Democrats have drafted a wide-ranging contingency plan should Mueller be fired or President Trump take other steps to quash the Russia investigation, like firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein or pardoning key witnesses.
Of top concern in the first 24 hours of such a move would be preventing Muellers documents from being destroyed and his team disbanded.

just like they have been doing since the racist, bigot, sexist pig took office, and unfortunately there is very little that the Democrats can do, unless we take back both the House and Senate in November, and the odds of that are not good.
I have absolutely no confidence in the American populace.
I hope I am wrong

Right up until the mid-terms.
I would also think that Mueller also has a contingency plan. Like turning everything over to state AG's...if that is possible.
