Robert Mueller’s explosive statement ending the Special Counsel investigation today has sent Democrats into a media-driven frenzy, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi bowing down even more to her left-wing colleagues and their calls for more investigations and an impeachment of President Trump. Republicans have plenty of principled reason to be worried in the short-term about Mueller’s final statement, but today’s events might just help Trump and Republicans in 2020 after all.
No matter what Democrats like Jerry Nadler and Maxine Waters find in Trump’s tax returns or the Mueller report, impeachment of the President will never happen unless Congress uncovers some heinous crime that rises to the level of treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors. Even if Democrats magically controlled the Senate majority, they would still need 67 seats to convict the President on a party-line vote. They are currently 20 votes short of that in the GOP controlled Senate.
