Hypothetically, if Mueller's team concludes that Trump's team did a bunch of illegal poo poo, what are the next steps? Does Mueller himself charge Trump's team with the crimes? Then, is it up to the DOJ to act on those charges (arresting people, etc)? Does Congress actually get involved at that point, are they still needed for impeachment?

My understanding is that Mueller himself cannot charge anyone with anything - he can simply compile his findings and then report them to congress, at which point Trump is either exonerated (lol) or Congress has to deal with a respected source putting enormous pressure on them to either impeach or come up with a drat good story for their voters back home.

Trump had a chance to eat a bunch of WV pepperoni rolls and instead brought in Fiesta bowls.

edit: although really I'm surprised he didn't just make someone bring in coal.

Speaking as someone who used to teach personal finance and budgeting to low-income kids and their families... It's not that simple. A lot of people would take the $500 now because they need it NOW to pay for rent, food, medicine etc.

Furthermore there is the issue of trust. I personally wouldn't trust you if you told me you would pay me $25 per month forever. What if you declare bankruptcy, or simply disappear? So in your theoretical scenario I too might also just take the $500.

Bottom line is that a lot of people who seem bad with money are actually good with money but have different burdens, priorities and/or their decision-making is affected by different past experiences.

Look at you, with your nuance and context. You're gonna need to have those registered, this is the Post-Escalator Era (PEE) and this country has no use for things like that.

Does it even really need to be a drat good story? Couldn't the Republicans just say "Mueller is fake news, a liberal, pushing an agenda, Making America Bad Again, etc" and then it would be fine, like every other time they need to explain their actions?

In my mind's eye, I can only see a latin-tastic party along the top of the entire length of the great wall, with the biggest saint's candles ever. This party never ends.
It's my imagination, so everyone is joyously happy and has a bottle of negro modelo. :3:

As much as people like to exaggerate in this thread, representatives are at least sort of afraid of being voted out of office. Any congressman with a remote amount of competition will start to feel the heat if they ignore it outright like that.

Enough congresscreatures have gotten spooked enough by the backlash to the healthcare bill that, yeah, I still think we're going to see some major squirming at the very least if/when Mueller delivers the goods.

There's all sorts of weird wording exceptions in that list, like when they decide to say the crab pot company product is "crab pot manufacturer"

The one that gets me is the Wisconsin company that makes "Two firetrucks". Two models of firetrucks? Did they sent two firetrucks to the white house? If so, how many hats is Stetson going to send?
