I think the whole enchilada right now is who is "they" because the composition of "they" is going to determine whether this happens or not. I mean, at some point Harvey Weinstein stops getting away with it. Right? I hope?

"They" will never be both the executive and a 2/3rds supermajority House vote to impeach, obviously, at this moment in time. So there goes a joint executive and legislative check and balance. The Senate's hearing last week was a circus, so much for that. Whether DoJ chooses to do anything substantial independently? Kinda doubt it. Checks and balances warfare is almost totally neutered. Two-party warfare is the dominate dynamic. Again, statement made for posterity, I know you know this.
