Hunter at Daily Kos writes:
“Blocking the criminal probes into the Republican president, however, is an immediate, urgent need. It cannot wait. The White House defenses are unraveling; federal prosecutors have now gained the cooperation of multiple onetime members of Trump’s inner circle and the president stands himself accused by co-conspirators of federal crimes. According to worried Republican bystanders, the probe into the Trump campaign’s interactions with agents of the Russian government is allegedly very, very close to completion.
“And there is no remaining way to block these multiple investigations other than changing the law of the land to grant Trump and his Republican allies immunity—which is, precisely, Brett Kavanaugh’s public legal opinion. Any presidential effort to shutter the investigations against him can only happen if Kavanaugh is on the court to support it.”
