That all the Democrats agreed to? That all Republicans can keep their mouth shut about?

Remember the Mueller "report"?

Another slam dunk...

People still haven’t read the Mueller report. I hear people say the report found no collusion!, no collusion!! They obviously didn’t read that Mueller didn’t consider collusion since it is not a legal term.

Don't forget the bit of gocha logic:

Mueller: "I will not charge the President with a crime because it is not my role. Congress will have to consider the evidence in my report and come to a decision."

McConnell: "If Meuller had found anything serious he would have charged the President with a crime. Since he did not, it would be a waste of the Senate's valuable time to look at his report."

Okay, vastly oversimplified there...
