Dear Syag,
I am not a Democrat. Maybe that is why I do not see anti Trump or a get rid of Trump for the greater good campaign. To me, this is all truck Washington stuff.
The scope of what Mueller investigated is way beyond the depth of your everyday journalist. The media could only report what Mueller wanted them to report. Other than a few minor leaks from Congress. Only the most seasoned reporters can keep up with the investigation and get a real scoop out of it. More than once, someone looked stupid reporting some breakthrough that dissipated within a few hours.
Robert Mueller is the most respected investigator in Washington. Both sides of the aisle, and all kinds of policymakers agree that he only cases about uncovering facts, and is impartial to the implications. Every administration relies on his work. The only parallel is Kissinger in foreign policy.
Mueller said from the very beginning that his investigation would only focus on Russia. Meaning, even if Trump would explicitly tell the investigation that he cut a deal with Putin to get elected, it would be handed over to the Justice Department and Mueller would continue to pursue what else and who else Russia was interfering with.
This was not widely disseminated, and led to great hand wringing among Trump and his supporters. But ultimately led to major disappointment of his opponents. It was all about Russia interfering in our elections. Something that they have done in dozens of countries.
So why did they wipe their electronics? Well, when that FBI agent lost his career over an unprofessional slip, most of the city wiped their electronics. And they swore to do it again every four or eight years. That probably was the most defining moment of The Trump Presidency.
