As some Democrats decide what the "best" move is politically, another possible scenario that they should consider. /1
If Democrats do nothing and let the Mueller report sit, the party could end up fueling @realDonaldTrump's main talking point--that this was all a just a “fake” partisan hit job and there was nothing there. /2
Failing to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable for abusing power can help to bolster his Republican support going into 2020--with the base, with the rest of the party who tolerate him, and maybe with some independents who are pleased with the economy. /3
Trump wins reelection in 2020, Republicans retain control of the Senate, and the abuse of power that has been documented in the Mueller report, his @Twitter feed, and elsewhere end up being officially legitimated. /4
Imagine that./end
