Elderly Trump Critics Await Mueller's Report -- Sometimes Until Their Last Breath

Mitchell Tendler began to fade. He had outlived two implantable defibrillators, and was on his third. The devices had kept him alive, but now posed a problem for the medical imaging he needed in the hospital. Doctors gave him some painkillers, and then he had a final thought.

"It just was quiet for a little while," Walter Tendler recounted, "and then he just sits up in bed halfway and looks at me and he goes, 'S***, I'm not going to see the Mueller report, am I?' And that was really the last coherent thing that he said."

For nearly two years, those who find fault with President Trump have been hanging onto hope that Mueller will produce evidence that will be damaging to the president. These expectations are so high that there are even those who in their last years are hoping to survive just long enough to see the conclusion.

Richard Armstrong is 94 years old, currently in hospice care in Plainsboro, N.J., and identifies with Tendler's words.

1. Not just the dying...I think many of us feel our lives to be on hold until....

this all gets resolved... It is a sad fact, I'm afraid.

2. Movie idea!

Four hospice residents, figuring they'll never get to see the Mueller report, go on a road trip with a grandchild or two to break into, I dunno, the Sekrit Mueller HQ to see what he's got so they can die happy. And then hijinks ensue and finally, exit, pursued by a bear, without telling US anything about the report, like its inspiration source.

Name...Democratic Fanpersons?

Thanks for the idea, Ernest Cline.
