Trump’s in a unique position as president. He could, in theory, pardon himself, or order the AG/DOJ/FBI to end the investigation or not proceed with a criminal case. He can do Saturday Night Massacre II: The Stupidening. It then becomes a political question in impeachment proceedings. If Paul fucking Ryan can’t find the spinal integrity to proceed with impeachment, and if the Senate has too many wingnuts, then Trump is bulletproof.

If that happens, our experiment in democracy has failed and we have become an autocracy.
