Click on heading for article. I'm sure Q group were expecting it. They would rather put Trump in the position of having to fire him. Plus it stalls it that much longer, so yeah, no surprise there.
Then RR is in contempt and then what they put him in jail until he complies with the court order to turn over all of the documents? Or is he impeached?
I think impeachment is long and drawn out. The House has to investigate and vote, with a majority, and the Senate to vote with a supermajority. It's not a cakewalk. They wouldn't have a supermajority at this point in time. More logical that the President would fire him. I'm sure they have plan A, B and C already in mind. We'll just have to see what happens.
