who, like many Republicans, conflates winning by any means (Russians, archaic racist vestiges of slaveholding Constitutional Electoral College system, gerrymandering, voter suppression, fraudulent electronic voting systems with no verifiable physical record, etc.) as a mandate of Messianic proportion.

Mueller can successfully take down Manafort, Flynn, Gates - and maybe even Kushner and Trump Jr. But in my mind, Trump himself is the only one who matters.
