(44,983 posts)I don't think Mueller thought the report would be the end of it. It's a huge play with lots of repercussions (for Trump). From SDNY to Congress to or own elections, today seems very significant. We'll see.

To make my point more clear, it seems that if the myriad ongoing investigations and prosecutions become so overwhelming against trump; it's entirely possible that trump may push for an impeachment trial, as his best way to beat these charges/raps.
