What if there's a party and no one comes?

There's a disturbing article on vox.com by David Roberts raising the question:   "What if Mueller proves his cases and it doesn't matter?"

Meaning, have we gone so far down the road of fake news and denigrating the validity of evidentiary truth, that the rule of law has become irrelevant?

What if Mueller reveals hard proof -- but the president says it's a plot and that Mueller is working for Hillary [they're already trying to discredit him by asking why he didn't prosecute her over the Russia uranium deal when he was FBI director].

And what if Trump is backed by the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Fox News, Breitbart, most of the U.S. Cabinet, half the panelists on CNN, most of radio talk show hosts . . . and an enormous network of Russian-paid hackers . . . working through social media -- to reject the evidence?

What if the entire right-wing media machine "dismisses the whole thing as a scam -- and conservatives believe them. The conservative base remains committed to Trump, politicians remain scared to cross the base, and US politicians remain stuck in paralysis, unable to act on what Mueller discovers."

"In short, what if Mueller proves the case and it's not enough?  What if there is no longer any evidentiary standard that could overcome the influence of right-wing media?"

To the extent that Mueller has proof of criminal behavior, that will go through our court system.   But any charges against the president would require Congress to impeach him;  and that becomes a political matter -- and the above scenario could become true.
