If there is no collusion or conspiracy proven, does that clear Trump and end the investigation?

Do we forget obstruction of justice, possible perjury, and the violations of the emoluments clause ?

Are the emoluments violations, alone, enough for impeachment?

I think this is the question that may be handed off to the US Congress and the new Democratic majority?

If Mueller cannot prove conspiracy, where does the Congress go from there?

Don't buy into this nonsense hype from the press. Mueller is not almost done and the results will be astounding. The House might even beat him to some big items.

But it makes impeachment unlikely. I doubt that we have a large enough of a majority to impeach if there isn’t an underlying crime.

On the other hand, the associated hearings should be enough to sink his re-election.

And depending on McConnell's integrity is delusional.

Even if he escapes a criminal conviction, Mueller's investigation is going to show Trump is such an inexperienced novice in governing, no body will vote for him again.
