How many Republicans in Congress will read the Mueller Report?

And if they do read it, will it change any minds?

Is there even one Republican member that would see anything wrong?

Is there even one that might ask for impeachment of Donald Trump?

I suppose that would be too much to ask?

It comes down to- do they care if members of their own party willingly lied to the FBI and Congress to protect themselves and the GOP President.

Since many, like Trump, care only about power and enriching themselves, they will not waste any time with the report. They are the Barr side of the party- the ends justify the means, so no harm done. They have no personal ethics and winning is everything.

Those that care about the Nation and its laws will be torn. We may see a few more decide to not run again. This is the coward's way out, but allows them some way live the rest of their lives with not a clear conscience, but a clearer conscience than if they had stayed on and acted as if nothing improper had occurred.

There may be some that while not for impeachment, will want to curtail future Presidents and WHs from obstructing as blatantly and unethically. They will move to define high crimes and misdemeanors and make it clear what from now on what will not be tolerated from the Executive office.

A few may agree that impeachment is warranted, but I doubt there would be enough to convict in the Senate.
