You know nothing about history. There was a crime committed directly related to Watergate, an actual burglary. That stimulated an investigation and ultimately a broad cover up where Nixon ordered payments for silence.
In the case of Trump, the 'crime' is collusion which is not a crime. And to date there is no evidence of any collusion a year later. So basically you have a premise there was a cover-up of collusion which is not a crime. So there can be no cover-up.
What the Left is hoping at this point is Mueller has authority to go back in Trump's finances before his candidacy. I cannot believe that is the case, otherwise it's a slope so slippery you end up where Ken Starr was in the 90s, where he just hung around for years until the Lewinsky scandal erupted. The law is pretty strict nowadays to prevent that.
Also, Mueller started his investigation in May, you are confusing yourself with the House panel as that has been ongoing for a year, as an FYI and are sabotaging your own argument by yourself. Given you are the source, so surprise at all there.
