7. We are on dangerous ground now.

The good news is there is conversation about where we are, and how we got here.

Barr's behavior at the hearing, his fuck you attitude, was a definite heads up, a signal to how far we have gone beyond the pale.

Nixon was too much a political animal to not resign, he wanted to salvage as much of his history on the world stage as he could, and when he was told Congress was seriously going to impeach him, he agreed to leave quietly.

That isn't going to happen this time, for all the known reasons about who Trump is.
He is motivated by money and power, and will not let go of either easily.
Worse yet, he is not known for keeping his end of agreements.
Even worse, his mental status makes him incompetent and unpredictable.

Sadly, there can be no enforcement. There is no longer a Department of Justice. sarabelle May 2019 #15
Thanks Sarabelle. Largely agree, but don't think "the courts" are (so far) corrupted. Evolve Dammit May 2019 #16
