What will it take to get an INDEPENDENT investigation?

I have no faith in a "bipartisan" effort!!!

1. Enough Republicans willing to let it happen

IOW... It's unlikely.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. At some point the stench will drive even Republicons to support it. Nobody knows the tipping point.

The tipping point depends on when each Republicon's fear for the toxicity of the brand in 2018 and 2020 overcomes their greed and power-lust that tRump has kicked into overdrive.

3. Our hard-earned tax dollars at work as we await the tipping point!

4. The Office of the Independent Counsel no longer exists.

Oddly enough it died just as George Bush jr. took office. There is a thing called a Special Prosecutor. Unfortunately that person is appointed by the Attorney General or Congress. Both of those are controlled by people that either won't appoint one or would only appoint a pro Trump shill.

Even if there were still an OIC, that person would be appointed by a panel of judges who were themselves appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. That guy is a republican conservative.

5. Ugh, what a nightmare. I hope there is some Woodward & Bernstein duo out there to help
