that Trump and the Republican Party are now financially leveraged by Russian money? That Republican political action is to cover for Trump (and hence, themselves)? Will he work on forming a new government with Democrats, should the charges against Trump and the OCP prove to be true? OPC should never be referred to as the RNC again.

(58,785 posts)preeminent among them, of course, our constitution.
Mueller has a specific mandate to investigate within the scope of his mandate, to see whether laws were broken, and to bring indictments or take other actions where appropriate. When those are issued, it moves to the courts, which then review the law and the charges, decide if a prosecutable case exists, and where it does proceed.
None of this includes seditious Comey-type actions of throwing the nation to one party or the other. Comey needs investigation and likely a cell reserved for him in a federal penitentiary.

This is not a parliamentary system where parties create coalitions and "form governments".

(24,766 posts)What if the whole Republican Party, at the Federal Level, is really the New Confederate Party (or Party of Treason)? Would/could Mueller announces this? What happens next?

(5,586 posts)But he wouldn't go after the entire repub party. That'd smack of totalitarianism and half of the country wouldn't tolerate / believe it. Especially with Trump spouting off on Twitter every 5 seconds.
It would have a significant negative effect on politicians and all politics in general.

(31,261 posts)As disappointing as that sounds, there is no choice but to work through Congress once Mueller levels charges. The last point is why voting for Democrats in every election is so vital to our democracy. Contribute money to local and out of state Democratic candidates if you can.
