Could Mueller somehow force congress's hand by

[Eyeball_Kid]

2. That's an option.

Mueller knows that the GOP Congress is frozen in place. They can't go forward with anything because Congressional GOPers have received Russian payments of laundered money in 2016. It's all in Mueller's basket of evidence. So he likely will have to criminally indict Trumpy, bypass Congress, and place the issue in the hands of the Courts. He'll also recommend charges for an impeachment trial, but knows that there is little stomach in Congress for this kind of truth-telling.

This shows how much the entire nation, governed by the Constitution, is in peril. During Watergate, the legislative branch wasn't a knowing participant in Nixon's scandals. Not so with Trumpy. The legislative and executive branches of the federal government have succumbed and surrendered to Putin's coup, leaving only the Judicial Branch as the guardian of the republic. Our nation's integrity is hanging by a thread.
