Democrats to target Trump no matter what Mueller report says

The Mueller report will be the starting pistol for an all-out assault on President Trump by Democrats in Congress.
There have been strong indications that Mueller could wrap up his investigation as early next week. Republicans predict that Mueller will not find any evidence he colluded with Russia, and Justice Department policy is that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
But even if the Mueller report turns out to be far from the smoking gun Democrats have yearned for, they are now in control of the House of Representatives and show no signs of letting up.
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., said that Congress should act even if Mueller stops short of an indictment. "If it basically says, 'Hey, we would have indicted Donald Trump for these offenses but for the fact that there's a policy memo saying we can't,' then I think Congress has to really look at these issues and decide what to do with whatever offenses the Robert Mueller investigation reveals."
