Special Counsel Robert Mueller is one step closer to indicting President Donald Trump. He subpoenaed the Trump Organization for documents that may have information on possible ties with Russia.
The special counsel was assigned by Congress after the 2016 Presidential Election showed signs of Russian interference, particularly with ties to the Trump campaign.
As Mueller tightens his grip, however, the President seems to be considering the release of special counsel. In other words, the president wants to fire the lawyer who is investigating his own campaign. While the special counsel is good for the democracy of our country, it may be hurting America’s chances at true prosperity and collaboration.
The investigation has split the nation in two. Right-wingers continue to say there was no collusion, and left-wingers are chanting for the impeachment of the president. But, let’s not forget who’s in charge if President Trump is impeached.
Vice President Mike Pence is next in line if special counsel proves collusion and obstruction of justice and impeaches the sitting president. Pence is a hardcore right-winger. He is homophobic, pro-life and helped push tax cuts in Indiana that hurt the poor and middle class. Is this really the guy we want in the Oval Office?
On the flip side of the investigation, it’s beneficial to our country to ensure that our sacred right to vote is not impeded.
So, what happens if Trump fires special counsel? Nothing. Just further division of the parties. You’ll see Millennials and left-wingers go to Twitter and vent their frustrations there. You’ll see Democrats go on CNN and express their utter disbelief. But, in the end, nothing changes.
Gone are the days of Richard Nixon when action was actually taken against presidents breaking the law. Now there is only partisanship, as in Republicans and Democrats will do anything to keep a person of their party in the White House. Republicans technically can block the firing of special counsel, but it’s safe to say they most likely won’t.
Democrats, we shouldn’t be quick to point fingers and name names either, because we know we’d do the same.
So what’s really going on with this investigation? Chaos. If Mueller is fired, the left will rise with fury. If Trump is impeached, the right will rise with fury. The American people are stuck between a rock and hard place.
Democrats need a new candidate. They need someone young and sharp who won’t be afraid to hit back in 2020. Students 18 and older need to make plans to get out and vote.
We’ve got two years left of the Trump presidency and all of the chaos that has come with it. Let’s not make it six.
