Maybe “the fat lady hasn’t sung” yet.
Mueller didn’t charge Trump because a sitting president is not indictable, according to the Justice Department; not that there wasn’t wrong doing because the Mueller report is full of evidence that Trump tried to interfere with the investigation but was foiled in part by some of his aides who knew better. There’s also the common knowledge that Trumpists welcomed Russian help in the 2016 election but what and how much help they received is a question and if there’s any thing that Trump’s ego couldn’t handle it’s the thought that he needed and received help from the Russians to get elected.
Now it’s up to Congress, and House impeachment is a possibility, but the Republican-led Senate is unlikely go along with it even though we’re dealing, all of us, with perhaps the most lawless administration in our history.
There’s probably a dozen ongoing investigations into Trump shenanigans, including by the Southern District of New York as well as another separate investigation by the Attorney General of the State of New York who’s looking into Trumps business practices. Much of the redacted material in the Mueller report is regarding these investigations.
Trump’s total disregard for law and order, his lack of even a modicum of ethical behavior, and the moral judgment of a snake, deserves at least removal from office but that may not happen except by the ballot box. As I said ” the fat lady hasn’t sung yet” and hopefully, she hasn’t even warmed up.
