House Democrats say theyre also ready to act as a backstop if Trump follows through on more than 18 months of pent-up angst and fires Mueller or tries to meddle with the special counsels work through a major shakeup atop the Justice Department.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has already pledged to make sure Muellers documentation is preserved and the likely next House speaker also holds in her back pocket the threat of launching impeachment hearings against Trump if the president tries to oust Mueller or if the special counsels investigators ultimately uncover a smoking gun involving criminal behavior.
Democrats are even prepping a break-glass scenario in case theres a Nixon-era Saturday Night Massacre where Trump fires his current DOJ leadership and tries to shutter the Mueller probe in the process. If that happens, senior Democratic officials say Mueller would likely get an immediate summons to Capitol Hill for nationally-televised testimony about his findings.

(58,785 posts)excited about the investigation (a lot of times!) it was possible we'd walk in the door find that Mueller and Rosenstein had been fired, records seized, etc.
That alarmed reaction when I realize I've been out of touch for half the day and may have missed invasion of Venezuela or assassination of Assad should even calm down a bit.
