The dust has begun to settle. The verdict is decidedly mixed.

Yes, in some respects, special counsel Mueller’s report reads like a Russian novel, albeit, oddly, filled with double negatives. Nonetheless, Mueller and his report have held the day for those who want Trump exiled to history’s dustbin. However, particularly given Mueller’s (some might say) doddering testimony, the “Forever-Trumpers” have held the night. And so, the dark may ultimately rule the light. We won’t know for sure until late one chilly Tuesday night in November 2020.
