Today, Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel to investigate the Trump- Russia connection. He is a man of great integrity and strength, who stood up to George W. Bush's trampling of the Constitution after September 11th. He will need every bit of that strength now as he confronts Trump.
Everything that we've seen, so far, is but the tip of a filthy iceberg of corruption and possibly treason. I don't know how this will play out, or how long it will take, but I can say this: The American Republic can take a deep breath. There is time for this to go wrong, and there is no telling how Trump will react, but we've taken a step in the right direction.
Since Trump still has the backing of his base, and since the right-wing is ridiculing the move, it is too soon to expect the house and senate leadership to move against their president. Still- the process is started. I can't help but think of Churchill's famous words: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
