The problem isn't Mueller. The problem is Trump.


Trump is the sole reason that Trump is in this mess.

Trump chose the most confrontational path to firm up his base support. Including statements cheering on the Russians when they were first suspected in the DNC hacks. If the partys' roles had been reversed, the repubs would have acted in exactly the same way the dems have been. This is hardball politics and you'd have been an enthusiastic supporter.

So Trump started out by shining the spotlight on himself. And with his tweets, like baseless accusations about wiretaps and our now favorite new term: "unmasking", he himself turned up the intensity of the spotlight.

And then you have interference from his confederates like Nunes, and his own mystifying decision to fire Comey in the middle of it all.

Which guaranteed a special prosecutor. And Comey's and Session's testimony before the Senate. Any special prosecutor who is not clearly in the bag for Trump is duty bound to follow up on these things.

I mean, you guys keep complaining that the Dems are out to get poor, poor Donald. So why not get Donald to stop shining the spotlight on himself, what with that being so obvious? He's making it easy for them. As a reality TV guy, any publicity is good, but as a politician who thrives on controversy, not always so much.

In other words, stop channeling His Orangeness and his inability to take responsibility for anything. He is responsible for this. 100%. Not Mueller, because any investigator has to travel this path - Trump left no other option.

Trump is probably guilty of no collusion with the Russians, but because he is such a crazed psycho with the history's thinnest skin, he may be guilty of obstructing an investigation.

Much of this was completely avoidable IMO. Trump, and absolutely nobody but Trump, is responsible for that, and whatever ramifications may still come. In terms of the impact on prospects for his agenda, they're already pretty damn severe.
