45. Even if the worst suspicions are true, the question the IC and the congressional leadership

will have to debate and grapple with is....What do we do about it? Do they:

...expose everything (except for top secret means and methods), let the public know, let the chips fall where they may, and allow the public and congress to determine if impeachment or other remedy is needed. This would likely trigger a constitutional crisis. Survivable but unstable for a time. Potentially, a time of vulnerability.

or

...take the position that it's TOO BIG to make public. The scandal would result in too much chaos, crisis, and instability worldwide to risk just for the sake of justice, transparency, and democracy. In this scenario, the IC would have leverage over the WH and maybe Russia and could find a way out that gives TPTB some measure of justice AND some measure of stability.

I vote for the former. And I'm afraid of the latter because the truth will never see the light of day. But unfortunately, the decisions might be made by people more interested in stability than transparency. The rest of the world knows what's going on...and I think we could show that we can rise above this scandal and put things right...show that democracy isn't fake and that we can resolve internal political problems.
