The demand for resignation is another part of the GOP coverup and its' collusion with Trump to hide the truth.

The GOP defenders of Trump pretended to be outraged at the allegations about Franken.

Why is Rep. Schiff at the top of the president's paranoia list? Now you know.

They're still trying to adhere to proper policies and procedures which, in the face of a lawless administration, has been difficult in the extreme. It's theater as much as it's politics and bureaucracy. They want the public to see how they're handling these matters like adults vs how poorly the Republicans do. Time will tell how effective that strategy is, but it certainly is frustrating.

isn't over.

They are trying hard to keep it secret. He is trying hard to make it public. Both of those actions lead to the same conclusion - it looks very bad for Trump.

Instead and more reasonably, my dream scenario is Mueller being subpoenaed and bringing with him four encrypted digital copies of the full unredacted report, one each for the parties in both chambers. Speaker Pelosi on a Monday gives Burr an ultimatum to produce four printed copies of the full unredacted report to be presented to Congress by 10am eastern that Friday morning. I'm sure the DoJ can find a Kinko's by then. If by 10:05am there's no sign of him and no indication he intends to comply, declare him in contempt of Congress and have the relevant legal authority (Capital Police?) issue an arrest warrant for Burr and he can cool his heels in a jail cell until the DoJ complies. No long-winded speeches, no extensions or grace periods, just terse and to the point. If he does manage to comply, Mueller can give the decryption key so that the printed copies can be compared against what Burr produces to ensure both parties in both chambers have the same information and that Burr's submission matches the report supplied directly by Mueller himself. Not one soul should trust a single word from Burr. And we already know the Republicans and Democrats in Congress won't trust they've gotten identical copies unless it's openly verified.

"Whereas other politicians seemed to dither or to act as mere administrators, Hitler projected purpose and dynamism. They remained trapped within the existing conventions of political life; he proved a master at denouncing those conventions and manipulating the media."

Trump is sure to order that Schiff be denied access to classified docs.
If someone explains this to him of course.
