The thing is, we know everything we needed to know about Trump's relationship with Russia, and how the Trump campaign was riddled with penetration by Russian intelligence. The only question left is what the President knew and when he knew it - but his base won't care. /1
In that sense, Trump accomplished what he set out to do: to make sure the GOP and 35% of the public will never accept SCO's findings, no matter what happens. But it gets worse: if the story is at all complicated and about money (and not about pee tapes), the public will yawn. /2

People keep asking "what will be in the Mueller Report?!" Guys, you already *know* what's in the report. The only missing piece is how much Trump directed or knew about, and how much leverage Putin has on him. (Not "if," but "how much.") /4
If Trump beats this, it will be in no small part due to the publication of the dossier -a raw intelligence file - whose contents shot public expectations through the roof.
The actual nightmare of the Russian penetration of the campaign and WH is *right in front of us*. /5x
