Even if Mueller manages to convict the vast majority of the current administration including the President and his immediate family, the Republicans will still be in power and will still be pandering to both their wealthy paymasters and the uninformed masses who have been supporting Trump all the way. Even if Pence goes too, it’ll only fall to Hatch or Ryan or Cotton or someone else of that ilk to carry on.

Exactly. And this is another problem i had with the SNL piece, outside of its artistic merit: it represents an unfortunately prevalent sense among a lot of liberals that Mueller’s investigation is going to make everything alright again.

I would love it if Mueller did, in fact, take down a bunch of people within the Administration, but i’m not holding my breath. And the wishful thinking among American liberals that attaches so much significance to the investigation is, in my opinion, rather unproductive.
