675 days after it began, Robert Mueller's investigation into allegations of collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice is finally complete.
The contents of Mueller's highly-anticipated report remain confidential—known only to Mueller himself, Attorney General William Barr, and Deputy A.G. Rod Rosenstein—but that hasn't stopped some of President @realDonaldTrump's allies from speculating (if not outright declaring) that he's been completely vindicated.
Meanwhile, Trump has been atypically silent.
Even if Mueller's report doesn't contain any bombshells—such as evidence that Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails, or that Don Jr. sought incriminating info from Russians about Hillary, or that Trump admitted (on TV) that he fired James Comey because of "this Russia thing"—that doesn't mean Trump is out of danger.
After all, aside from numerous far-reaching Congressional investigations, Trump is also facing numerous state and federal investigations and lawsuits.
Fortunately for Trump, he has excellent lawyers like Rudy Giuliani defending him.

Elsewhere...
Rep. Steve King fantasized about a 2nd Civil War—one in which his home state is on the losing side.
Rep. Steve King, whose history of making racist remarks has recently come under scrutiny, shared a Facebook post over the weekend that boasts red states would "win" a fight against blue states — and that they have "8 trillion bullets."
"Wonder who would win..." the Iowa Republican wrote in a post Saturday, adding an emoji with a smirk. Attached to the post is a photo depicting Democratic-leaning states engaged in a fight with Republican-leaning states. The photo's caption reads, "Folks keep talking about another civil war... One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn't know which bathroom to use," an apparent reference to Democrats' support of gender-neutral bathrooms.
Among the collection of states colored blue is King's home state of Iowa, which he has represented in Congress since 2003.
King's office did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. Later Monday, the post was removed from King's Facebook page.
Meanwhile...
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin intentionally endangered his childrens' lives—presumably to own the libs.
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin admitted in a radio interview on Tuesday that he intentionally exposed his nine children to chicken pox instead of giving them a vaccination.
Bevin told WKCT, a station in Bowling Green, Kentucky, that his children were "miserable," but they "all turned out fine."
The CDC warns against children contracting the disease intentionally, which some parents did prior to the vaccine, and advises they be vaccinated.
"Chickenpox is a mild disease for many children, but not all," according to the CDC. "There’s no way to know who will have a serious case. When your child gets the chickenpox shots, he or she is getting immunity from chickenpox without the risk of serious complications of the disease."
Bevin said he believes parents should be given the choice whether to vaccinate their children.
Stupid is as stupid does.
