I feel vindicated. I know the President does too.
A new special council will be ordered up shortly, I'm sure.
It's only beginning.

The FBI got the warrant renewed three times which means they had to prove that they were getting valuable intelligence.
The memo contradicts itself when it admits that some of the dossier was corroborated.
Also Wray and Rosenstein both said it wasn't giving the full picture since it cherry picked what was put in it. A
Nunes admitted he didn't read any of the classified info. He also wouldn't deny he worked with people in the White House on it.
And there will be a Democratic Memo that gives another side to the story.
A new special council? I would assume you mean a parallel one to "investigate the FBI?" Because nothing in the memo can gives a need to get rid of Mueller. The only reason Trump wants to get rid of him is that he is getting too close.
But Trump can't fire Mueller outright. That would be another example of obstruction. He would have to fire Rosenstein (someone he appointed) and then have the new deputy AG fire Mueller. That would give even more proof of obstruction.
So Trump buys himself a few months. And what happens when the House flips? They either hold open hearings and have Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, McCabe, and others working on the council testify to what they found and their thoughts on Trump's obstruction. Or they bring Mueller on as an independent council. That would take it out of Trump's hands. Trust his lawyers are telling him that firing Rosenstein to get rid of Mueller opens him up to more than he can handle. But Trump is a moron so he could work himself into more trouble.
This is definitely only the beginning of the fall of a president.
