The desirable way for Trump to be removed from office is by the voters during the 2020 General Election, replaced by a Democratic president.

Democrats are wise to advocate for a special counsel: that Trump might fire the special counsel would be politically advantageous for Democrats, that the counsel’s investigation will take years would also be politically advantageous for Democrats.

A continuing investigation during Midterms would benefit Democrats’ efforts to take control of the House or Senate.

And a continuing investigation going into the 2020 primaries would likewise benefit Democrats.

Trump in the WH under ongoing investigation and scrutiny is the best political asset Democrats have.
