End the real collusion, the 'special relationship'.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who was charged with finding out if Donald Trump campaign team colluded with Russians to influence the presidential election in 2016, has submitted his report. "For much of the past 22 months, Democrats waited with bated breath to see what special counsel Robert Mueller had found out about Russian collusion in the 2016 election" but those hopes have been dashed. The problem for the Democrats is to decide whether to continue to harass Trump with investigations into his business, his taxes and his family, or to fight next year's elections on policies. Though most Americans want the full report to be released, the majority of people said that they are not going to change their opinions of Trump, whether for or against. Presumably, most people do not think it is important for their lives. Trump has been claiming that the whole investigation was a witch-hunt and is feeling vindicated. The Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton over his lies about his affair with Monica Lewinsky but, "Despite his perjury and lies, President Clinton left office in 2000 with incredibly high approval ratings." Trump hinted that he would like to investigate those who instigated the investigation with false allegations. The good thing is that the Mueller investigation actually made a profit by catching tax cheats who were then made to pay. Attorney General Bill Barr sent a 4 page summary of Mueller's report to Congress quoting that the investigation found no evidence of any collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russians, "despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign". Barr is unable to release the full report because of rules surrounding evidence obtained through a grand jury but Democrats are incensed and want to question him personally. Now that the Russia question has been settled, perhaps it is time to investigate real interference by one country -- and that is Britain. Allegations of Russian interference and of parties with prostitutes in Moscow were made by an ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele, and picked up by the FBI. This could not have been possible without permission from the British government which takes pride in its 'special relationship' with Washington. In 1962, then Secretary of State Dean Acheson said in a speech, "Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role, which incensed the British." British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan believed that "we are the Greeks to their Romans", meaning that the British are the thinkers while the Americans are mere foot soldiers. Margaret Thatcher pushed George HW Bush to start the first Gulf War, saying it is "no time to go wobbly". Cameron pushed Obama to attack Libya, resulting in Gaddafi's death and the present refugee crisis in Europe. Trump should order an investigation into British interference in US politics and end the 'special relationship' now. Fourth of July is not just for barbecues.
