America is Heading For an Unprecedented Constitutional Crisis

What will Trump’s reaction be when he figures out he’s been duped — and that the Mueller probe, far from a “nothing burger,” is a carafe of strychnine that poses an existential threat to his presidency? The likely result is that Trump will either pardon everyone involved or try to fire the special counsel, or both. And then the nation will be plunged into a constitutional crisis the likes of which we have not seen since Watergate.

But we've been there already, and we know how to deal with it. The crisis is going to come if and when Trump refuses to leave office and the GOP refuses to be party to any effort to remove him from office. THAT is crisis material.
