13. Agree completely. Mueller worked overtime letting trump, his family, and campaign off the hook.

With regard to collusion, conspiracy, whatever one wants to call it, Mueller used the phrase, the investigation "did not identify evidence . . . . . ."

As an example, the report says: "The investigation did not identify evidence that any U.S. persons knowingly or intentionally coordinated with the IRA's interference operation."

Mueller even excused Kush and Junior for the trump tower meeting by essentially saying they were too stupid to have the intent necessary to violate the law, and Mueller was unable to put a value on any information discussed. Similarly, Mueller let Manafort off giving polling data to the Ruskies.

Mueller wimped out. If he was shut down by Barr or anyone else, he should have said so. Hopefully, he'll repent next week, but I'm not counting on it.
