It's a bit long but well worth the read.
that he was not exonerated can only imply that he was guilty.
Yes, this is good. I think a serious discussion can be had over whether the Mulehead investigation really ever hurt Trump.
After all, with a few exceptions (not getting all the Wall money, not getting a “comprehensive” immigration bill), Trump has won on basically everything for 2.5 years. He won on the economy, on tariffs, in the courts, on his travel ban, on his pulling out of TPP and Paris and NAFTA, on scuttling the Iran deal.
Yes, Trump works harder than any two men. But it’s hard to argue simultaneously that Trump has been incredibly successful (which he has been) and at the same time was “hamstrung” by Mulehead. I don’t buy it. I also don’t buy that Mulehead significantly hurt the GOP in 2018. I think that was almost entirely a factor of over 20 retiring GOP incumbents; a group of very poor candidates whom the GOP wasted money on (Comstock, the CO guy), a lot of fraud in CA and a little in AZ, and the GOP failing to have a comprehensive national program, least of all one supporting Trump.
And, for every vote Mulehead’s investigation cost Trump, it’s likely it generated at least one sympathy vote for an underdog whose opponents are piling on.
Were there any non-Dems? I've not heard of a single Republican. (except Mueller)
