The most disappointing thing in Mueller report so far?

Absolutely no delving into whether Russian hacking affected the vote. The report brushed aside the question of whether the Florida county that was infiltrated actually suffered real tampering of the votes. The matter is supposed to be under FBI investigation, which means we will never know. To me it’s criminal not to know, more than 2 years later.

Other disappointments ... Alfa bank connection, inability of the feds to read much of the Manafort communications because of encryption. I truly thought mueller knew all. So far, I’ve learned as much of more from News sources.

Pretty disappointed with first 100 pages.

While I’ve consoled myself with the ongoing SDNY investigations, it’s likely the SDNY will not indict Trump because of the same justice department policy of not indicting a sitting president.

The obstruction parts will probably be meatier. I think trump couldn’t get all the people who weren’t with him before he was president to lie for him.

The haste of Papadopoulos' arrest made me think they had something significant on him. And given the warrants on Page, it seemed they had something. I was disappointed they werent mentioned or barely named.

I read also the "dossier' was included only 14 times!
