I think a nice chunk of the Ditto heads are gonna break away driving up the polls for removal in the Senate. I think he'll resign before Bolton or other key witnesses testify.

I remember Rush Limbaugh back in the late 80's during the Iran / Contra illegal gig. At first, Rush appeared to be all about the law and the Constitution when good ole, Ollie North was on the hot seat especially after Fawn Hall shredded all the evidence.

It was as if Ollie North, overnight with that pic of him raising his right hand to testify, he transformed from a liar to Patriot getting bullied on. Then he became a Right Wing Nut hero from then on.
