ie. not pushing a replacement through. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he'd also have to roll back the filibuster even more since I think it still applies to DA appointments. Even if it doesn't, the optics are horrible for McConnell and the Rethugs. So, does he.....

A.) Go along to save Donnie Two Hand's ass. Even if it looks like you're aiding and abetting obstruction of justice. Bad choice in toss up elections.

or

B.) Cut Donnie lose as a lost cause. In essence, Trump's fucked and Senate Rethugs focus on their own political asses instead. But, as Donnie burns down, the collateral damage might be hard to contain.

Tough choice for turtle boy, but couldn't happen to a more loathsome piece of shit.
