Exactly. Especially in this instance. Mueller has no case against Trump, not a single piece of evidence in nearly two years of investigation that Donald Trump or his campaign “colluded†with “Russians.†Not now, not in the campaign, not ever.
The process is the only weapon they have: Mueller has nothing criminal to get him on. The plan has always been to destroy the president politically, not criminally because that’s all the democrats have.
