President Trump's legal and political pursuers will hardly back off based on the Mueller report.
Be smart: Pelosi's opposition to impeachment + Trump's shield of no collusion indictments = The high likelihood his fate will be settled on Election Day.
Consider what else is ramping up:
- House Democrats, despite their leaders' quest to slow things down, remain thirsty to begin impeachment proceedings. The House investigations are designed to make a maximum public splash and make the maximum amount of information public.
- The House Judiciary Committee is prepared to issue subpoenas to enforce its document demands sent to 81 people, agencies and entities tied to the president, including relatives, aides, friends and business partners.
- Of the 17 Trump and Russia investigations that Garrett M. Graff outlined in WIRED in December, only seven were by Mueller. The rest were by other state and federal entities that continue their work. And that was before Democrats took over the House and got subpoena power.
- Outside pressure will rise from Tom Steyer and other Democrats with big bank accounts and big platforms.
