(9,988 posts)Republicans will do nothing. Some of them most likely are also compromised by Russia (McConnell?) and may have been ordered by Putin to avoid any criticism of Trump. I dont remember which Republicans spent the July 4 holiday with Putin a year ago, but all of them are questionable.
The only possibility I see for Trump leaving earlier is if he resigns. If the press would accurately report his actions as irresponsible and irrational, and if they report every hearing in the Judiciary and other investigative committees every day to shine a light on Trumps corruption, he might be pressured to resign. As long as McConnell is in the Senate, though, no conviction and removal from office will be allowed to happen. I dont see the 25th being invoked either because Trump has filled his administration with incompetent toadies.
