The rest of the investigation, as far as the president and his inner circle are concerned, was spent trying to find a way to frame President Trump’s legitimate outrage over this attempt to nullify his election victory as “obstruction of justice.”
There was no obstruction of justice. Mueller himself had to know that, which is probably why he refused to charge anyone with it, entirely separate from considerations of whether the Justice Department has the authority to indict a sitting president, which it does not.
All there was, as we can now clearly see, was a rational reaction by a president who realized just how much of a mess his FBI Director and Deputy Director had made of the Clinton email investigation and saw the same people wasting taxpayer money on a politically-motivated investigation into something he knew all along was a baseless conspiracy theory.
The executive actions Trump took in firing Comey and to seek accountability in his Justice Department were widely reported in 2017. The only information the Mueller report adds to the record is legally irrelevant chatter intended to be politically damaging to the president.
