I suspect that Pence has a secret contingency plan on when to pull the plug on Trump, which the Speaker of the House and other top ranking Republicans are in on. All they need are clearly impeachable offenses committed by The Donald. They may have them already, but could be holding their fire until the optimum time.

The Democrats could do a lot of the shovel work in digging up the dirt on Trump (if they haven't done already). But, on the other hand, do they really want Trump out of office? He's probably their best fundraiser since the Clintons. Pence and company in control might actually get some results. The Dems probably won't give the info to the Reps, but the latter can hire hackers to get it. Servers stashed in restaurant bathrooms can be hacked by bright 16 year olds.

Then, one must recall the huge files J. Edgar Hoover had on all the top politicos. Trump's people are likely digging into the dirt Comey probably had on them as I write this.

The whole situation is positively Shakespearean. It could be the best free show in town since Watergate.

As some prominent Boston politico once said, "Politics ain't beanbag."
