Commentary: What if Trump is right and there is no collusion?

On Sunday morning, President Trump wondered in a tweet, "Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added...does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!".

What if Donald Trump is right? What if there really is no collusion?

With Trump declared guilty by Democrats and all but convicted in the press, what happens if Mueller confirms the findings of the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee - that there's plenty of Trump campaign incompetence, but no collusion?

For people who hate or love Trump, it won't matter.

Many are likely to think that if there was no collusion, then the entire story really was the "Witch hunt" President Trump keeps telling them it is.

Trump appears to be acting on assumption that collusion is his silver bullet.

Keep everyone focused on that question, so that when the verdict comes back "Innocent of collusion," Trump can declare himself "Not guilty" of any other charge by default.
