In reply to the discussion: Dems should avoid turning the "full report" into the "long-form birth certificate" [View all]Azathoth

I'm going to be honest, I don't trust the Mueller report now. I don't trust that it will give us anything solid to work with. I think there will be stuff in there that Congressional Dems can make hay over, but I'm pretty convinced that Mueller, for whatever reason, decided not to give us the nuclear ammo we were looking for. And I think Rosenstein is onboard with that decision.
I think talk about Russia and obstruction now needs to shift from discussion of specific crimes into a broader narrative of betraying us to our enemies and abusing power to cover up that betrayal. If the report comes out and happens to make a convincing case for crimes, great. But I'm no longer betting on it.
