They hope Trump will provide his own rope.You would think that the dems + media would have a full court press on Trump at this point desperately trying to de-ligitimise the lawfair process, but they are oddly quiet.
Does this mean that they know they are fucked and are trying not to make it worse, or is it that the top level people genuinely didn't know this was going to happen and are trying to distance themselves from it?
As I've said before - and been negrated frequently for - the ideal end to this for the Democrats is Trump publicly humiliated by arresting him for refusing to leave office. It's a very straightforward charge, and would result in a Roger Stone style arrest. They want Trump to keep claiming to be President even when he is abandoned by all of his political allies. But I think the mistake is going to be this Truth and Reconciliation bullshit. Trump WILL be abandoned by his allies if they believe that staying by his side would mean going down alongside him. But if you corner Trump's cabinet ahead of time, making it absolutely clear they'll be charged as a co-conspirator in the showtrial to come no matter what they do, then you give them very good reason to stand and fight.
