So, she said: it's good you are not in charge of the law.  Her response was correct. Since Mueller's report is done, or better said, since Barr is in, Potus is in charge of the law. Consider what has gone down since these two events. 2.5 years arrears.  My guess is, see what happens in the next 6 months. I tend to suspect Potus wants to have a few things done by the end of the year, before he enters into the final 12 months of his first term.    Every accomplishment on immigration and bad actors, and peace -prosperity is a re-election win.  It will probably require a lot of brinkmanship.
