Only if President Pence/Ryan/Mad Dog aren't willing to go all Ford for him and issue a pardon before he gets convicted of turbotreason (which is a secret level of treason that is reserved for "bigly treason, just trememdous. Sick (and Sad!)" to quote Alexander Hamilton's writing in Protocols of the Elders of Federalism.

Is devin Nunes stifling my lols? Also, lol at a senator from CA being republican. I thought CA was the biggest blue oasis in the country. I mean I know there's northern CA that has shitholes akin to WV and such, but I didn't think anybody lived there, or if they did, I just assumed they were all ex-felons (or current ones) that couldn't vote

Nunes is a Congressman, the House is a home for the terminally insane and his district is gerrymandered to avoid Fresno

this is correct, you can't sue a consul. keeping a hold of government immunities was basically the reason Julius Caesar destroyed the roman republic

disgracing Trump will not cow his followers, just like killing the Gracchi brothers didn't get rid of the populares movement. it does not matter if he is impeached, the republic is hosed long term anyway unless someone actually manages to change things fundamentally

i agree, trump is Tiberius Graccus abusing a flaw in the system to push his agenda, despite conventions. Caesar is going to come later, after Trump destroyed and his followers need a new better champion

Nah, if anything trump is like Crassus:

- born into a rich family
- managed to increase his wealth by some really shady means
- thought himself to be richer and more able than he actually was
- brought shame and disgrace over the entire republic
- even in death supplied the parthians with grade a lols
