...to being removed from office.

He's not firing people. He's not demanding resignations. In short, he's not acting like he's concerned in the least over this investigation. And when you think about it, why should he be? As long as the GOP holds Congress, nobody with an (R) after their name and an interest in continuing their political career is going to do anything that would jeopardize their ability to get re-elected or raise money.

In my heart I believe Monday's indictments will be a big nothingburger. By Friday, they'll be old news.

This being said, I'd love to be proven wrong.
