In reply to the discussion: Schumer: 'Severe consequences' if Trump moves to shut down Mueller probe [View all]MBS
(9,688 posts)Nevertheless, we've still got to come up with a workable Plan B to ensure that the "consequences" are real, and, well, consequential. I hope and trust that Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Warner, and other Democrats on the intelligence committees have been thinking about options for a while. And I suspect that their efforts have intensified over the last week.
Options that I see:
Somehow prevent any attempt to fire Rosenstein or Mueller ("how" is of course the question)
Or
Figure out a way to rehire Mueller in the Senate to continue his investigations there.
Or
Use any firing of Rosenstein or Mueller as the reason finally to start serious impeachment proceedings (I realize that the House has to do this, and, with this congress, hell would have to freeze first. . ).
. . Because, for the sake of our country's survival, by some mechanism or another
- the full truth of this sordid mess (Russian entanglements; money laundering; obstruction of justice; lying to the FBI etc; must come out
-There have to be serious efforts to thwart meddling (by both Republicans and Russians) into 2018 election
and
-the criminals/traitors in the White House have to be brought to justice.
