    ā€œAmounted to nothingā€? Did you read the report? There was plenty of evidence that Mueller put forward that should have amounted to a case. The only remaining questions were if Trump was even aware he was being assisted and actively colluding, and if a sitting president could be prosecuted. Mueller decided he had to be impeached and removed before action could be taken, and his cult protected him.

    Thatā€™s not ā€œall talkā€, thatā€™s Republicans putting their own interests over the country.

      Mullerā€™s report was likeā€¦ Yo, this guy did some things that definitely could be considered crimes. As an investigator, I referred them to the DoJ, as bringing a case against the president was not part of my mandate.

      That then Bill Barr was likeā€¦ Eh, heā€™s white and rich and heā€™s forwarding a christofacist agenda, so I donā€™t think we need to charge him with anything.

      ā€œShould haveā€ is all we ever deal in.
