If Mueller is fired and the investigation thwarted

would members of the intelligence community just say fuck it and start leaking shitloads of evidence they have on trump and his cronies and get it out to the public? I mean if we're going all out and reckless the way we're doing, why the fuck not? That would be sweet retaliation and retribution.

and Trump can claim "fake news".

The only thing that would convince everyone is something like the Nixon tapes... and technology is so good right now that even video of Trump taking orders from Putin will not convince his base... they will claim conspiracy and "Apollo moon landings..." blah blah blah.

in 1974, republicans were bi partisan enough to force Nixon to see the handwriting on the wall. With today's GOP, not only would they not do that, after yesterday it's more obvious than ever they are COMPLICIT in the crookedness.
