The problem is that these people will not stop.
Putting nobody in jail means that they can claim a partial victory, and live to fight another day.
Even if they fail to oust President Trump, as of now they have Flynn and two Sessions recusals on the scoreboard.
As I reposted last night in Democrat Playbook: "Pull the majority along as far as we can...", Democrats use investigations to drag Republicans into buying the rope used to hang them. Republicans help Democrats every step of the way.
Just as before with the Jay Rockefeller memo, Democrats have successfully turned the subject away from the content of their emails corrupting the Democrat primary process to Trump colluding with the Russians to corrupt the general election. And again, Republicans are playing their part.
Trump may be playing "3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi," but Trump has to get his own party on the right game board, too, or they will undermine him after every move.
I'll also appeal to the historian: you are reminded of Sam Houston defeating Santa Ana at San Jacinto. I posted in early February that Democrats remind me of Hernan Cortes at Veracruz in 1519 when he scuttled his Fleet of ships so there was nowhere to go for the troops but forward.
The Blue Senators in Red States have nothing to go back to, even if they do compromise. It's a fight to the political death with Trump now. Win and they think they can keep their seats; lose and they will be ousted in the next mid-term election.
It's not Donald Trump versus Santa Ana, it's Donald Trump versus Hernan Cortes. Cortes was rejected and was desperate to regain his authority and stature, so he followed a scorched-earth plan to conquer his objectives.

Bad analogy. Trump is Cortes.
And RINOs know already they have nowhere else to go.
