Especially striking about Mueller indictment is the stark contrast between its almost clinical devotion to hard, documental fact (truth, remember that?) contrasted with a year of dissembling, chaos, spin, and falsehood infecting our politics. It’s like a political antibiotic.

We need to sit back and wait for the outcome to be revealed. Conspiracy this → and conspiracy that → don't get excited. Certainly there is something wrong here. The indictments do not seem to be the quality of work you would normally associate with the Special Prosecutor. Such big guns for such little crimes.
AND ⇒ Certainly, our system of government is not so fragile as to be upset by social media. Most of the time, but certainly during election time, anyone who is even remotely familiar with social media, knows that it is mostly produced by trash talker. Hardliners from both sides engage in some rugged debates.
And everyone knows that politicians are not even as trustworthy as a hungry used car salesman. There is no greater snake pit than Washington DC. The mere fact that someone is charged with attempting to undermine public confidence in democracy is almost laughable. Hell, that would cover most of Congress with all the partisan politics and hidden agenda.
If we filed charges against every politician on the basis of it they "undermine public confidence" there would be no one left.
No, either this entire debacle actually undermines public confidence, by being so ludicrous --- or --- we need to open an investigation into who in Congress actually started all this nonsense.
In any event, since the ball is already rolling down hill, we need to sit back and wait for the end result. Once the Special Prosecutor is done, then we (as Americans) should begin to review the record, and identify who made what allegations; and apply:
Title 10 USC §333. Interference with State and Federal law
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
Most Respectfully,
