What if Mueller proves his case and it doesn't matter? (excerpt)
"We dont know yet if Mueller has the goods documentary or testimonial proof of explicit collusion or if he can get them, so we have no idea how this is ultimately going to play out.
But we are disturbingly close to the following scenario:
Say Mueller reveals hard proof that the Trump campaign knowingly colluded with Russia, strategically using leaked emails to hurt Clintons campaign. Say the president backed by the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Fox News, Breitbart, most of the US Cabinet, half the panelists on CNN, most of the radio talk show hosts in the country, and an enormous network of Russian-paid hackers and volunteer shitposters working through social media rejects the evidence.
They might say Mueller is compromised. Its a Hillary/Deep State plot. Theres nothing wrong with colluding with Russia in this particular way. Dems did it first. All of the above. Whatever."

This scenario has become increasingly plausible lately. I went to a Democratic club fundraiser last night and this topic was clearly referenced by the speaker. What in God's good name has become of this country??

(12,344 posts)I think the courts and DOJ have enough credibility to eke tbis one out, but whether we get rid of Trump or not, the problem will remain and get worse.
The only way out is for democrats to come up with a new political consensus that transcends the old. We are not doing well so far.
