WASHINGTON (AP) — See Bob investigate. Read Bob’s report. Wait, Bob, what?For nearly two years, the nation watched and waited as special counsel Robert Mueller investigated President Donald Trump and his campaign for potential collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice.The release of a redacted version of Mueller’s 448-page report last month offered a long-awaited moment of closure for many — and an utterly unsatisfying cliffhanger for plenty of others.Three weeks of public parsing and analysis have left them wondering just what Mueller was trying to say and what he really thinks, particularly on the question of obstruction, where the document drew no conclusion. That uncertainty has given partisans on both sides an opening to frame Mueller’s findings to their liking and left many Americans, unlikely to read the full report, scratching their heads about what to believe and whom to trust.Enough with the printed page, they say, enough with the punditry: Speak, Bob, speak!Mueller found the usual suspects doing the usual dirty political tricks to each other, with the usual foreign agents providing dirt. This stuff starts in 1801, I believe, never stopped.
Mueller did not investigate the FBI, that is a job for the Senate. Mueller did pick up a few unrelated prosecutions, most of them biased for one side and unrelated to anything. Mueller is not going any farther in that report, because it is not Mueller's job to judge standard political tricks. Given the biased nature of the investigation, Trump is immune from any obstruction charges; and Mueller knows this.
Best advice, drop the horse manure and move on.
