Attention must be paid. What will be the impact of the Mueller commission's findings? For starters, on the 2020 election outcome?
I'm willing to stipulate it will change no minds among the strong adherents of each party. I cannot imagine the findings strengthen the Democrats' standing with the independent part of the electorate.
Recent polling data finds fully half of Americans believe the Russian collusion probe was a witch hunt, doomed from the start to find nothing. Far fewer believed it fully justified.
Clinging to now-disproven assertions of traitorous activities makes Democrats look foolish. Looking foolish isn't how people get elected. Don't be surprised if Trump wins a larger percentage of the vote in 2020 than he did in 2016.
Among those who are big losers out of this fiasco, count the legacy media as losing more than most. They have demonstrated their utter bias and complete untrustworthiness. Who will believe them going forward?
Other big losers are the upper echelon swamp creatures of the Department of Justice and the FBI, whose Obama-era appointees appear to have committed indictable felonies. Less certain is whether these will ever be brought to justice.
Finally, the lesson for so many is the insanity of believing what you wish to be true is in fact true. Wishful thinking is a trap into which many have fallen.
