Will Mueller brief the Senate when he gives them the report of his investigation?

Or do you think he may take another route and seek to prosecute, rather than to ask for impeachment or the 25th?

It seems like it is getting about time for him to make a move? With all the talk in the news about how he "hates everybody in the White House" and how they are saying he is more unstable with each passing day.

Republicans are very slow to come around to the reality of the situation. They believe that he is a threat to our national security but if they say anything, they will probably lose their next election? They are putting Party over Country.

It's a tough position for them but you would think that at least half of them would be on the side of America?

Mueller's grand juries are working. They will decide.

When they can get a better sense of how the midterms play out. If they continue to have strong support then they will do nothing. If it becomes apparent that their seats and majority are in jeopardy then they will act as a means to save face and attempt to manipulate the voters into believing they are "saving the country.".

If it appears that the Democrats are not a threat then they will do nothing because to do otherwise would not be in their best interest.

Right now the playing both sides against the middle. Periodically we hear a republican come out in condemnation of trump without any follow through. They are pandering to Independence and non Trump supporting Republicans. In action placates the
Trump supporters.

First he will argue that a sitting President can be indicted and tried for a crime. I find it unimaginable that a court would rule against that line of argument.

Next, he will indict Trump and many of his family members and campaign, transition and current staffers.

This will create an uproar in Washington. Congress will have no choice but to impeach. The only question will be, where will the line of succession end? Pence? Ryan? Who will be implicated in this unprecedented fiasco.

He'd be wise to build a case so substantial, so lock tight, that Americans will be marching in the streets. We're in full constitutional crisis right now. Republiturds are violating our civil liberties, tearing down our institutions, and ruining America's reputation on the world stage for generation to come.

Dotard will certainly fire him once Mueller indicts him, then pardon himself as the president and all of the other high crimes cronies.
