Scandalous

The Atlantic: Scandalous Beyond a Reasonable Doubt - In debating whether collusion is a crime, Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani are successfully changing the subject from political misconduct to legalistic parsing. by David A. Graham
Even if Mueller does come back with evidence of major crimes, then what? He has reportedly told the White House he’ll abide by Justice Department guidance that says a sitting president can’t be charged with crimes. That means the fate of the probe will come back to Congress after all.

Since his base cares nothing about the law and Only uses it against a sitting Dem. President and are quite happy when a GOP Pres. acts like a Dictator it won't matter much if the house changes hands next year. Trumpf has nothing but disdain for Congress anyway and if it becomes blue he'll just go ahead and ignore it. His base will concur. The next two yrs. he'll rule by decree and edict. The SCOTUS will give him and the base everything they have been dreaming of for decades.

The article is very sobering. Since I've read it I'm still working to with the sense of feeling overwhelmed. That will go away soon for me but I suspect many are feeling quite depressed at this point. We're in a tight spot Glenn, I doubt Mueller's findings will change anything. the Trumpsters will reject it, of course, the vast majority will believe it, the partisan gap will widen and become even more course and dangerous. Trump will fail though.
