It looks like we will be waiting until 2020 to find out the answer as to whether or not this will end the president's career based on recent comments by top Democrats.Even if it didn't end in 2020, I'm sure it wouldn't last more than 4 years beyond that. That's kind of the nature of presidencies.
I'm going to be glad this Mueller investigation is done, the report was put out like the dems kept insisting, and that they are finally going to quit whining about Barr's interpretation of the report because they--and everyone else in the world--can finally see it for themselves.
Wait! They are going to quit whining, aren't they?

The worst thing Democrats can do is to feed into Trump's victimisation complex. Starting impeachment proceedings without any guarantee that Senate Republicans would vote to convict if the evidence points to it would only serve to make Dems look worse in the eyes of the public. This is why Nancy Pelosi won't entertain the idea of an impeachment. She's too shrewd to fall into that trap. Leave it to the American People to decide if Trump is fit to be re-elected that way when he loses, he has no one but himself to blame for it.It looks like we will be waiting until 2020 to find out the answer as to whether or not this will end the president's career or not based on recent comments by top Democrats.
“Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point... Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgement.” -- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer
"Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
This is a very wise move on their part.
NO COLLUSION, FULL STOP
=============
This is important. For more than 2 years, many have said that the Trump campaign couldn't cooperate with a conspiracy, even if they wanted to. They were incompetent, and woefully disorganized. Sure they communicate with the Russians, lots and lots of times. In itself, talking to the Russians or wanting to make hotel deals isn't illegal.
So, there were no Americans that were guilty of collusion, not Kushner, not Jr, not anyone.
Let's be clear with regard the president. Mueller said that he could NOT indict, even if there was enough evidence. That was DOJ policy. However, Mueller could exonerate Trump if there was not enough evidence. Mueller exonerated the president with regard to collusion.

That's not exactly true. The report said that they would have exonerated Donny of charges if they were able to do so. They declined. From what I've been reading, that is lawyerese for "we think something suspicious happened here, but we can't necessarily prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt or get a conviction. That's not the same as "exoneration".
Plus, there are plenty of shady activities that Congress could probably still investigate:
John Harwood on Twitter
Jennifer Jacobs on Twitter
Hunter Walker on Twitter
The report makes it crystal clear that Donny was Putin's choice, and when he won, (quoting the report) "Putin won".

Not happy about it, but trump is not the first president to fit this category, nor will he be the last. That bothers me more.
And because it turns out the Russians aren't so foolish as to depend on Donald Trump to do their dirty work.
Mueller very clearly believes there is some evidence of obstruction but not enough.
Well what does that mean to you?Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment , we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President 's conduct. The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment.
Nope. Not seeing that there either.
My reading is that if this evidence was about anyone other than the Chief Executive, there’d be indictments pending.
