Not my problem, John

No one likes hot potatoes, and Trump was one of the hottest. Mueller punted on holding him to account in the Russia election interference investigation, hinting that it was really up to Congress (and the House indeed did give it their best shot, first for the Ukraine call, which was a much clearer case than the Russia election interference scandal, and then for his role in Insurrection Day which was (or should have been) a slam dunk. There Mitch McConnell did much the same thing, saying after he voted not to convict, that the judicial system was where Trump should be held to account.  The institution to which Mueller passed the buck ultimately passed it on to the judiciary. The buck clearly only stops when it's no longer too hot to hold.
