re: #237 KGxvi

The House can investigate it, for sure. But a special counsel has to be appointed by the AG (good luck), or it has to be referred to the DOJ for prosecution (again, good luck). The only thing they could really do, is impeachment.

Now, if the evidence is strong enough, the threat of impeachment might be enough to get him to resign (that happened with Fortas). But that just means Trump gets to appoint someone else, and if the Dems don’t control the Senate, it’ll be someone with more or less the same judicial make up. Or, they could impeach him, the Senate could acquit him, and he lives with the stain of being The Impeached Justice. It might not mean much, but every opinion he writes after that will be viewed with a jaundiced eye by lawyers and legal scholars.

Not to be petty, but that seem worth the work. That and Trump may be up to his fake hair in legal troubles by then anyways.
