It will doom any gop, but never dem
That’s becuase the media won’t allow it.
If this had happened in a Republican administration, you could just simply forget about the balance of the President's term. Just write it off.
Every Democrat in congress, along with all the heavy hitters of the punditocracy, would be calling for top-to-bottom investigations of every cabinet-level agency.
The BATF going after AR-15 ammo? That would be a laugh.
Every manager in the BATF would be scrambling to assemble all his e-mails, his deleted e-mails, his junk e-mails, his archived e-mails, going back to day one of this administration, and probably before.
Every cabinet department would have its own special prosecutor, each with his or her own staff of hand-picked Democrats, looking in to every nook and cranny of every electronic record-keeping system in the executive branch.
Leaks would be coming daily, with salacious details of back-biting, office romances, nastygrams about Democrat Members of Congress, shady financial deals, kick-backs, insider trading, nepotism, influence peddling, etc., etc.
The torrent would grow into a cataract, and then into a deluge.
While this was going on, not a blessed thing would be done on the President's agenda. The whole thing would be effectively shut down. That includes nominees to the federal courts, cabinet level vacancies would go unfilled, staff positions would freeze in place.
Key staffers would resign to write books or huddle with their attorneys.
There would be leaks to committee staffers, leaks to the Washington Post and the New York Times. It would make Watergate look like an Easter egg hunt.
But, as I say, that would all happen if we had a Republican president with a Democrat-led congress. Because the party labels are reversed, it will probably all blow over, with nothing changed, and Obama churning forward on all fronts with his "fundamental transformation of America" agenda.
