The Mueller hearings

I haven't watched the full hearings yet, but here's a pretty good synopsis from Lawrence O'Donnell ...







Trump said afterwards that the hearings were all positive for him. I don't know if he was just lying for his dead-head horde, or if he is just so unhinged that he actually believes it. Things did not go well for him.

Mueller affirmed that the Russians meddled in our elections in order to help Trump and hurt Hillary. He affirmed that Trump and his minions fell all over themselves trying to cooperate with the Russians to that end. Mueller affirmed that Trump participated in numerous instances of obstructing justice, trying to cover up his coordination with Russia and trying to doom the investigation (including that Trump lied in his written replies to Mueller's questions). Mueller affirmed that he did *not* exonerate Trump and said that Trump could be arrested and tried for obstructing justice after he is out of office (unless he is re-elected - SOL).

Trump should be impeached. There is so much more to find out about what Trump has been up to, especially financially, and that information will be more easily obtained if there is an official impeachment impeachment investigation ongoing. Maybe that will annoy swing voters, maybe the Senate won't do their duty, but it doesn't matter. Trump's a crook and he should be held accountable. It's the right thing to do.
