I am worried that Trump will get out of this just like he does everything else?

If there isn't a smoking gun? Trump will boast for next several months or years that he got away with fooling the American people! I smell a rat and that is the GOP working together to cover Trump's ass! I not trusting the powers to be! Lord, help us all!

1. Mueller

Mueller has done a ton. But if you were expecting him to indict the President, despite all the information that indicated that almost certainly never going to happen, you were setting yourself up for disappointment.

We need to push for the best candidate in 2020 and work damn hard to get out the vote. No amount of scandal will convince corrupt republicans to convict after a successful impeachment and no amount of scandal will convince his sick base to abandon him.

2020 comes down to us.

The AG, the GOP, the media and the Trumps are those who I am talking about. But you are correct!

2. House can indict, when RepubliCon Senators find some spine. SDNY. Other states. House Committees.

Mueller may not "recommend" indicting but he can lay it all out such that those with power to indict can. DoJ has already got a policy of not indicting sitting Presidents and Mueller may simply be following that rule. Others are not so constrained.

11. Nah. There is more to come. Remember Steele is validated. Plus the China/Saudi connection.

Evidence is piling up against tRump.

RepubliCons might be able to ignore a 2 ton elephant in the room but not a 50 ton whale.

nixon and his dirty tricks I bet he would have used russia the same way trump did. Some people are above the law. Yea, trump lost a law suit and has to pay a few million for his charity. Why should he care if dueche bank will give him two billion dollars at a drop of the hat?

7. You're human. You worry. Especially about things you don't know about.

That's normal.

My advice?

Breathe, accept the mystery, and wait and see.
