There is a lot of anticipation about the Mueller report concerning how much there was illegal coordination between a Presidential Campaign and a foreign entity.
It has already resulted in a lot of indictment, guilty pleas and some sentencing, but the big question is how high up does it go?
This has more resemblance to some old movies about tying to bring down a mafia boss than it should.
Does anyone really think that the activities were done without the knowledge of the candidate?
The only real questions are was his knowledge of what happened criminal and if so what are we going to do about it?
The last time we had something similar to this, we had a lot more independence in congress and integrity.
Even members of the same party expected a certain type of behavior from our president and presidential candidates and criminal behavior was simply beyond what could be tolerated.
Its not so obvious today.
It seems unlikely that our President would do the honorable thing and resign so it would require that the House indict him and the Senate convict him.
These crimes, if proven, are what many consider "soft" crimes. Depending on the actual behavior, some will consider it as simply an infraction of rules that might be too restrictive.
Further, in today's political world, having principles isn't all that common.
How a vote will impact you politically is generally the main concern most of them have. As long as his somewhat rabid base stays loyal voting you conscience is a dangerous thing.
Not even sure it is worth the effort since at this point the more effective strategy is probably to win in 2020.
