Opinion: What does the Mueller report mean for 2020?
President Trump at the White House on Monday. By Ed Rogers Ed Rogers Opinion writer focusing on politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 25 at 2:00 PM Well, it turns out there was no collusion. This is not a big surprise, as I wrote in July 2017 that “the quest for collusion is crumbling,” and in June 2017 that “the president still has the advantage of being innocent.
Obviously, President Trump’s opponents and critics in the media will want to mostly ignore the findings and look ahead, but they cannot ignore that Mueller’s investigation failed to conclude that Trump or anyone in his campaign colluded with the Russian government. Trump may be a miscreant, but he is no traitor. The immediate reaction by Democrats has mostly been lame backpedaling and stalling and calling for the complete report to be released — whatever that means.
For the pro-impeachment crowd, Mueller’s report appears to have left enough of an opening. Most of the 2020 Democratic presidential wannabes are going to say Mueller’s language regarding obstruction of justice is deafening in its silence. They will find refuge in an excerpt of the Mueller report cited by Barr that notes that the investigation “does not exonerate [the president].
