There has been a lot of speculation on what would happen if you-know-who is indicted. I suspect that is one of the reasons our Attorney General has appointed a special prosecutor to handle the case. There is a desire, a sensible desire, to keep our airports running, our interstates functioning, our state houses open and landmarks like Rockefeller Center making money off of tourists. A special prosecutor can delay things until he is somebody else's headache.
You-know who is indicted. Thousands of white men in 18 wheelers converge and close the Capitol. Our interstates are closed as trucks block the entranceways and converge around the perimeters of our major airports. Armed male senior citizens men shoot down tourists at random in Times Square and Christmas markets nationwide.
Its easier to let one guy get away with something than to cause chaos. To get along, you go along.
Editor's note: William S. Burroughs describes this sort of thing in Naked Lunch.
