Trump’s the Luckiest Guy Alive. Impeach Him Now To Change That.
Finally, the famously quiet man, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, has spoken. At 11am Wednesday, before reporters at the Justice Department, he spoke tersely about his report, and walked away from questions. End of Act I.
The recently released 448 pages, plus hundreds more of related supporting materials, that make up the Mueller Report are a first cut at the official record of these historic events. Partisan observers will take from the report what they brought to it – proof of Donald Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors to his detractors, and no collusions, no obstructions in the eyes of his supporters. But there are facts, careful ones, not fake ones, that the report carefully lays out and documents, and they are important and worth considering by the public as follow-up investigations proceed Mueller’s careful comments at his press conference.
Mueller stated that there was Russian interference with the election and there was obstruction of his investigation. But regarding President Trump, he was bound by his sense of essential fairness and Justice Department guidelines not to draw prosecutable conclusions about him. His report went to Congress, and it alone must decide if formal action is warranted.
