What a Difference A Few Indictments Make: Public Confidence in Mueller Soars

"The bottom line is that the week’s news had a huge impact on public confidence in Mueller’s investigation. In addition, we found that Mueller is trusted more than other actors investigating the matter."

"This low confidence in Congress, if it persists, is potentially of concern if the Mueller investigation finds evidence of activity by the President that it must refer to Congress for its action."

My concern is they are too interested in going for the "two-fer," tarring Trump AND Russia.

I would be glad to be rid of Trump alone, and I'm more than a little concerned that the Russia stuff is a ramp up to war.

He could already have dozens of indictments ready to file. He may have some already filed that are sealed. One of these days the shit is going to hit the fan big-time.
