Yup. It’s over. Particularly now that Mueller walked back his OLC statement with a later clarification he did not mean to assert Trump could be indicted for his unique acts.
Trump would stymie a Congressional investigation. He’d drag it out by sheer refusal to comply as Barr and Ross have done and play the Democrats’ efforts in it as a continued “witch hunt.”
The country does not give a shit about this. It actually makes people angry because it conveys the impression the parties are only interested in political gains and not implementing policy that impacts people’s daily lives. Pelosi knows this stuff is playing into Trump’s hands.
Josh Marshall’s advice is excellent... if we’d a nation of lawyers and people who view obstruction as significant. We don’t. We have people who care about jobs and health care. The Democrats have blown off enough toes with Russiagate. Any more and they won’t be able to walk. The better battlefield is the Blue Wall, where Trump can lose.
