Only Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017 could have been a sweeter day for the present occupants of the White House than last Sunday. The publication of Attorney General William Barr’s letter summarizing special counsel Robert Mueller’s report lifted an enormous political weight off President Trump and his team.
Mr. Mueller found no evidence that “the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” Mr. Barr concluded “the evidence developed” during the Mueller investigation “is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.” These findings demolished the principal “resistance” talking points, leaving many Democrats angry and discombobulated.
Some, especially in the House, will keep pushing for impeachment. This will enthuse many in the party’s hard-core base, but swing voters trust the Mueller investigation’s core findings and its leader. Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows obsessing over impeachment will benefit Mr. Trump and Republicans, but she will find it hard to contain her caucus’s overeager members. Witness Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, doubling down Tuesday on allegations of collusion.
The president and his allies have raised concerns about how the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought on this investigation, especially pointing to possible abuse in seeking Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants. Did the FBI tell FISA that information supporting the warrant requests came from opposition research bankrolled by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party?
These questions should be answered, but Mr. Trump need not devote much time to pressing them. He can count on Mr. Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to continue cleaning up the FBI and Justice Department. Mr. Horowitz is already investigating possible FISA abuses.

Notice that Karl Rove is refusing to write “President Trump” too, just like a Democrat.
Depend on what he would be moving onto. Trump has a lot of great MAGA issues that need raising, but Rove would have him move onto being more like the Bushs.

Take your white board and stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Rove, I give you credit for threading the needle with Bush, but the reality is, your advice has been wrong on every critical move in the decades since.
Thank GOD your influence is done, because while you had your moment, your moment is past.
Your mentality and world view would have gotten Hillary elected. Let Trump be Trump... as long as he puts America First, he’ll not only keep winning, but further expose the true motives of the left, unlike your “conservatism” that avoided confrontation and caved anytime some left winger threw names at the right.
Move on to the prosecutions! Where’s the next IG report? Those referrals Nunes has been talking about for weeks? Justice delayed is justice denied!
Who is this Rove person?
It is all about the party, who cares about the office of the President or the United States
Move on to arresting traitors and seditionists. Then, move on to either jailing and hanging them as appropriate.
We didn’t hire Trump to “move on”. Ever!!
I am certain that #nevertrumpers and Bush toadies are as involved as the RATs in this treason.
There’s still a bunch of GOPe bush leaguers around.
Rove’s goal is to divert attention from the Bushes and RNC Never Trump crowd. I suspect he knows that release of declassified docs and a deep dive into the Mueller investigation will suck many RINOs into the maelstrom. We already know that McCain played a major role in disseminating the dossier...it’s time to sort out who his Republican allies were.
Karl Rove, to paraphrase Lincoln, “I can spare this man. He is milquetoast.”
Fat chance, Karl
translation: The Bush Family is neck-deep in the attempted coup.
Haha!
We're laughing, but I'd be surprised if he didn't participate in or wasn't aware of the GOP generated oppo research that happened early on.
I’m being completely honest, as I have no trust in Rove. The Bushbots hate Trump with a passion, and I think their fingerprints are all over this mess.
John McCain was probably the main person in the GOP.
