Plan for it: Firing Comey after Peet and Yates, what will Trump do to head off investigations?

After all he has done to stop the investigations, Trump won't stop at taking over the Justice Department.

If that doesn't work, does he have any option left?

Usually demagogues go for foreign wars or national emergency leading to martial law.

Drumpf will do whatever he thinks he needs to do to cover his ass. I wouldn't put anything past that scum at all. Keep firing people, keep trying to scuttle investigations, keep shutting out the press, start a war... there's really nothing you can say is totally impossible.
