Byron York: What if Robert Mueller doesn't give Democrats what they want?

The position of most Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill is that lawmakers are waiting until Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller delivers his report before considering whether to impeach President Trump. But what if Mueller does not accuse the president of wrongdoing, or at least impeachable wrongdoing? Would Democrats say, 'Never mind,' put away thoughts of impeachment, and move on to the next item on their agenda?

That seems unlikely. Many Democrats are deeply, emotionally committed to resisting Trump. Sixty-six House Democrats voted to allow impeachment articles to move forward a year ago. Now, with the House in Democratic hands, and after another year of media-hyped Trump-Russia allegations, there's no reason to believe Democrats would abandon the Russia issue regardless of what Mueller does.

In addition, some Democrats are warning that the public might not see all of Mueller's report. Justice Department rules don't require it, and attorney general nominee William Barr, in recent confirmation hearings, did not promise to release the whole thing.

Impeachment is one thing removal from office is another thing entirely. Democrats have proven over and over that they care nothing for the rule of law or even a love of their own country. I just can't believe their hatred for our President runs so deep that they would literally destroy this country in order to get rid of Trump. GOD help us and keep your guns ready because we may be needing them soon.

He is giving them everything they want so far with no prosecution of Democrats such as Clintons, Podesta brothers, Clinton Foundation, Clinton lawyers, Clinton personal aides and other Campaign personnel. Republican witch hunt.
