I'm also getting a weird a spidey-sense again that Mueller may be an ally. I don't know why because I was convinced for quite some time that he was there to take out Trump… but I keep overriding this new gut feeling.
There are two ways to look at that: traditionally, in politics, you keep someone under bogus investigation just to keep the stink of wrongdoing on an administration for as long as possible,right?
BUT…5d chess would be that, as long as it's going, it also effectively acts as a shield against other investigations or attempts to impeach. The dems have ALL their hope in this and will be psychologically devastated if it comes up empty.
But I still go back and forth
There are higher virtues.
We shall see. Fog of war.
