I’m about where you are. Very pessimistic.

Once Rosenstein said he would recuse himself from supervision of Mueller, and Mueller then met with Comey and granted him immunity, the trap was sprung.
Paul Ryan is certainly capable, “with a heavy heart”, to deliver the 25 GOP votes needed to impeach Trump once Mueller’s stack of lies is delivered to him. Senate conviction is a certainty, no men on earth fear the swamp being drained more than US Senators of both parties.
Ryan might do the deed ANYWAY if Trump fires Mueller and Rosenstein today, but if Trump’s surrogates tell a good story about the setup and the conspiracy, Ryan might not be able to hold his 25 traitor bloc together.
However, if Trump lets the false process play out, he’s gone. Which, LBH, he might find to be a relief.
