re: #328 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

He is weighing his options: If it looks like the GOP was actively involved in investigating Trump, it will look better when it inevitably blows up into something so egregious and foul-smelling that they can no longer ignore or gloss over it.

And that is most likely just a matter of time.

That was pretty much what got President Nixon: When things blew up so badly that the GOP was afraid of their chances in the next election. They stepped in and asked Nixon to step aside.

In Trump’s case, I don’t see him stepping aside. If they asked him, he would go bananas.
