<div dir="ltr">Given the centralization of party decision making and the tight discipline the parties enforce on their legislators (money, primary challenges), do not expect any Republicans to break ranks and take any action at all. With Republican control of both houses of Congress, nothing will happen unless and until McConnell and Ryan initiate it. This will happen only when and if they decide that Pence is enough of an improvement over Trump with regard to getting their agenda pushed through that it would be worth weathering the firestorm of discontent from hardcore Trump supporters. <div><br></div><div>The interest in having a president who is not corrupt and is not selling the US out to the Russians is not sufficient motivation for them to take action or they would have already done so. It's only once they see the once in a generation opportunity to push their radical agenda slipping through their fingers that they will take action. If Trump is impeached ever, it will be for being insufficiently capable at pushing the Republican agenda, not for firing Comey.</div><div><br></div><div>With the Republicans, in particular, party and ideology trump country.</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry for the cynical take on this.

Nixon Prosecutor directs Attorney General to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox BECAUSE Cox ordered Nixon to produce the White House tapes. AG Elliot Richardson RESIGNED rather than do Nixon's bidding. Then Nixon directed Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to do the same, BUT HE resigned as well in defiance of NIXON.<br>.<br>EVEN IF YOU ARE PRESIDENT YOU DON'T FIRE A PROSECUTOR OR AN FBI DIRECTOR WHEN THEY ARE INVESTIGATING YOU !!!!! IT RAISES SUSPICION THAT YOU ARE GUILTY !!!!!!<br>.<br>What happened? <br>.<br>Nixon's tapes were subpoenaed and NIXON resigned in the face of CERTAIN IMPEACHMENT.<br>.<br>May 9, 2017 ... Trump fires Comey BECAUSE of the revelation of Hillary's Email problem which (CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?) GAVE THE ELECTION TO TRUMP ??? TRUMP PRAISED COMEY FOR DOING IT and said he was very brave!!!!. <br>.<br>What will happen NOW? <br>.<br>OBVIOUSLY Trump is GUILTY OF COLLUDING WITH RUSSIA ... possibly promising the lifting of sanctions for Russian help in the election. Comey was getting close. Trump probably received information leaked from that investigation. Trump fired Comey to TO INTERFERE WITH OR STOP THE INVESTIGATION !!!<br>.<br>I predict that this will be enough for Republicans to join with Democrats to do the following:<br>.<br>1. Appoint an INDEPENDENT prosecutor (like Cox) to investigate the Russian connection<br>.<br>2. IF evidence is found against Trump, with corroborating evidence, 2/3 of the House will start IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS<br>.<br>.<br>READ the chart below for the mechanics of IMPEACHMENT.<br>.</span></div></span></span><br><div><span class="m_3838208648792861207gmail-fbPhotosPhotoCaption" style="outline:none;display:inline;width:auto;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41)"><span class="m_3838208648792861207gmail-hasCaption" style="font-family:inherit"><div class="m_3838208648792861207gmail-text_exposed_root m_3838208648792861207gmail-text_exposed" style="display:inline;font-family:inherit"><span class="m_3838208648792861207gmail-text_exposed_show" style="display:inline;font-family:inherit"><img src="cid:ii_15bef8562289d7c3" alt="Inline images 1" width="544" height="325"><br></span></div></span></span></div></div>
