I suspect that one reason Mueller has assembled such a Dream Team of lawyers and

done so in a hurry is to get as much done as quickly as possible in case Donny TwoScoops and his minions try to pull the plug on the investigation by firing him.

I hope he also is following Pres. Obama's example and salting the evidence away in as many safe places as possible to make sure Trump and his Kremlin Klan gangsters can't make it disappear.

The investigation seems to be moving pretty expeditiously considering how complex and wide-ranging it is. I think that is because Mueller is smart and quite aware that he is probably working under the sword of Damocles.

From herr trump on down, his sons, his daughter, his son in law and even his wife, they're all going to jail and sooner rather than later.
This latest revelation is the smoking gun we've been waiting for, the end of the tRump rein of error is about to arrive.
We will soon find ourselves in the greatest constitutional crisis our country will ever see. We need to have millions of protesters filling the streets. We must demand the removal of the republicans from power. We must demand that the rightful winner of the election, Hillary Clinton, be installed as the President. We must demand the repeal of all legislation signed by tRump, all executive orders and the removal of all judicial appointments.
We must bring this country to a halt! Let's strike a blow for freedom and let's remove this treasonous bastard from office!

Anything done to remove Trump puts Pence in office. If it was determined that Pence is similarly unfit, then Ryan will be president. There is no mechanism for putting Hillary in office, none what so ever.

We are the majority in our country. This election was stolen. We need to fight for what is rightfully ours.

I'm dubious you can even get a majority of the people to support any extra-constitutional process. And you'd need alot more than just a majority. 85% might not be enough. You could be looking at a military that didn't know whose orders to follow. Governors that would refuse to legitimacy of the new president (especially if they were from the opposite party). You could be looking at secession of various states. Militias forming to take control of federal installations. States using their state guards to do the same thing.

There is no way to have a "do over". The time to fight was before the EC met, and none of the democrats saw fit to try.
