All depends on how citizens react in the coming weeks and months. And that is a big IF. Apathy and complacency are still the overall characteristics of America’s citizenry. People are constantly sipping their sleepytime tea (a.k.a., amusing themselves to death).
All depends on the press. None of the scandals have made the front page in my local papers. The Dems in the IRS hearing this morning laid out that none of their actions were illegal. That will be the Sunday news theme. It will be swept under the rug by Monday. Sad, but true.
