None of "them" want to go "there" for any reason other than a political advantage.  Denying that political advantage to the opposing party is, I suspect, the sole intent of  Mayor Dan who is obligated now to  equivocate, displace, and distract to protect his party.

I can only hope that the majority of  American people still harbor a sense of justice.  Loss of stature and influence is all the powerful fear and only if  that loss can remove them from power..  That loss is the trickle down benefit of these legal/political proceedings against the powerful and that is only justice you can expect.
