Anyone else getting the feeling that it is about to blow?

6. Impossible to know, but don't underestimate the

power of enormous power blocs. They all have lots of assets, dangerous shoals to avoid, and maneuvers that amateurs and outsiders know nothing about. It could all implode, but my guess is most of this is going to drag on for some while, some parts for a very long time time, with relatively quiet periods, periods of Republican successes, sudden judicial moves, and so on.

Don't forget, Nixon was reelected in the middle of the Watergate investigation. This is SO much bigger and more bizarre in every possible way, with so many more slimy criminals and wingnuts involved, that that may not be an appropriate comparison at all, but maybe it is a little. That took two years, and ultimately Nixon fell not because of the burglary but because of bad maneuvering.
