That was really meant only as a depressing observation of how long it took even in the Nixon case, which surprised me when I read it. I suppose a key point was that Nixon was ultimately rational, public as well as political opinion was overwhelming, and he was persuaded to backtrack and appoint a replacement special counsel. We don't know what would have happened if not.

Point is, the Republicans weren’t sitting around staring at the floor. Do you expect, if Trump followed the same path in firing Mueller, that the Current day Republicans would stop him, or that there would be consequences that ended in impeachment?
