Matthew Yglesias has a really good take on where we stand post-Mueller. Yes, I bet the full report - as opposed to William Barr's interpretation of it - has much more damning evidence of Trump's many connections to Russia and dirty Russian money. We should see that.
But ultimately, Mueller was never going to "save us" from Trump. Only elections will. The one we just had last November is critical for just that reason. The House needs to look into all of it. Trump is incredibly corrupt and has been for years. He's a tax evader, a sexual assailant, a violator of campaign finance laws, foreign corrupt business practices, bribery, extortion...That's all I can come up with off the top of my head. There is ample evidence for all these crimes already.
The House's job is not to impeach Trump. That won't do any good anyway, as the Senate won't remove him. The House's job is to make Trump a symbol of plutocrats from Wall Street who are enriching themselves while average Americans suffer.
That shouldn't be a hard case to make.
