Sadly this is true. But any distraction would be short lived. The Russian probe will go on for years. It is unlikely to show any crime has been committed as it is difficult to prove "intent" on the obstruction of justice charge and if collusion was found it would be politically damaging but is not a crime unless the Trump campaign orchestrated the hacking with the Russians for which there is no evidence to suggest that yet. 

So the best we can hope for is that Mr Trump will get nothing done (and do little harm) while in office and he won't get re-elected.
