Th-th-th-that's all folks!
That's been a question since the beginning. If that is the case,
Mueller
can still issue an evidence-full report that cuts Trump off at the
knees. He can also subpoena Trump. And if it is all bad enough, even
the
GOP House might impeach him.
The odds are stacking up against Trump completing a term.
I don't think that is what is going on. I bet Mueller is coming up dry
on the russian collusion investigation as it pertains to Trump so he
issued this sour grapes statement and he is going to justify his
existence by going after unrelated financial crimes against some Trump
associates and direct charges against Russians he can never arrest.
When you read the Facebook report it really looks like they were just
spreading general discord, not necessarily trying to get Trump
elected. To that end they succeeded behind their wildest dreams,
simply because we have this witch hunt going on and by how much
negative opinion there is against a sitting US president. In the mean
time Putin is wildly popular in his country, even when polled by
people from the outside. Every time he sees Bill Maher, Rachel or
anyone on CNN, he has to chuckle.
I suspect that Mueller's final report will identify several things
that accuse Trump of being guilty of but he will not indict him for
any of them leaving it up to Congress to pursue impeachment and
then indictment if they so desire.Â* Won't happen.
It will end up being much the same outcome as when Hillary was given a
get out of jail free card for her numerous actions, leaving both the
left and the right frustrated and disgusted with the federal justice
system.
Impeachment *is* indictment. If Mueller does go the "report" route, it
hopefully will be revealing and devastating enough to finish Trump
politically, even if Trump is not impeached by his buddies in the GOP
house. If the Republicans lose the house this fall, impeachment will be
on the table and there will be reopened investigations that will be for
real, instead of the sham investigations the GOP-run committees ran.
A POTUS can be impeached but not convicted as in the case of Bill
Clinton. In fact, he was acquitted.
