Hamilton would have been investigated by Mueller.

Why would you think that?
I think Hamilton would not have been impressed by Trump. Probably would have been the original Never Trumper. Hamilton was not a man with bonespurs or one to suffer blowhards lightly.

And the usual dirty tricks would have been employed--even setting up phony "meetings" between Federalists such as Hamilton with manufactured "operatives" of foreign governments, such as Brlitain, who still had eyes on retaking their own colonies.

Hamilton was as energetic and tireless as Trump is. And he wouldn't have been judgmental about Trump's sex episodes considering his own sexual infidelity, or considering the sexual proclivities of those in his own Federalist circles such as Jefferson who was not a sexual purist.
He was also as fervently business friendly as Trump. And he supported tariffs to bolster American business. And he believed in immigration only by merit which was useful for American business needs.
Maybe you have some notion that he was a noble spirit. He was a hard driving political and commercial realist, not much different, if at all, than Trump.

Does this sound like a letter Don the Con would have written from New York Military Academy?
Dear Edward
This just serves to acknowledge receipt of yours per Cap Lowndes which was delivered me Yesterday. The truth of Cap Lightbourn & Lowndes information is now verifyd by the Presence of your Father and Sister for whose safe arrival I Pray, and that they may convey that Satisfaction to your Soul that must naturally flow from the sight of Absent Friends in health, and shall for news this way refer you to them. As to what you say respecting your having soon the happiness of seeing us all, I wish, for an accomplishment of your hopes provided they are Concomitant with your welfare, otherwise not, tho doubt whether I shall be Present or not for to confess my weakness, Ned, my Ambition is prevalent that I contemn the grov’ling and condition of a Clerk or the like, to which my Fortune &c. condemns me and would willingly risk my life tho’ not my Character to exalt my Station. Im confident, Ned that my Youth excludes me from any hopes of immediate Preferment nor do I desire it, but I mean to prepare the way for futurity. Im no Philosopher you see and may be jusly said to Build Castles in the Air. My Folly makes me ashamd and beg youll Conceal it, yet Neddy we have seen such Schemes successfull when the Projector is Constant I shall Conclude saying I wish there was a War.
I am Dr Edward Yours
Alex Hamilton
Trump is the antithesis of Hamilton, Trump is much more like Buchanan, in his defense of privilege, dividing the nation and claims of harassment by Congress.
Buchanan was not successful at that, Trump won't be either.
