While reading Jennifer Rubin’s column in WaPo on the McCabe firing, I came across this concluding paragraph:
In sum, once more, a Trump-inspired stunt is likely to backfire. The politics are irrelevant to Mueller, who now views each of Trump’s antics through a single lens: Does this reveal corrupt intent to disable an investigation into Trump’s conduct? In this case, Trump leaves little doubt as to his motives.
And it occurred to me: does it matter? That is, suppose Mueller’s investigation comes to an end. Then what? He delivers a report. And what if the House GOP shrugs its collective shoulders and doesn’t do anything about it regardless of its contents?
I know the headlines are screaming that Trump may fire Mueller at any moment (although that’s actually up to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein), but for Mueller, there’s a big question: supposing he does have evidence worthy of indicting the President. Does he deliver it to this DoJ and Congress?
Or does he wait for the next, possibly more mature, Congress?
