Congressional Republicans are looking for an off-ramp. Having given aid and comfort to a reality show presidency for just more than a year, the smart ones are beginning to figure out that voters are on to them. This is particularly the case for the large crop of elected Republicans who have historically cast themselves as the protectors and defenders of the rule of law and the primacy of the American justice system. Long after it became openly embarrassing to claim both a love of the law and a love for Donald Trump, Republican representatives have attempted to split the baby with claims that they love the Constitution but hate the free press, or that they love the courts but hate judges, or that they love the Mueller investigation but hate the FBI and the Department of Justice.
