In the end, did you think Mueller actually did right by the country in the final stages of Russiagate? My sense was that he faced tremendous pressure and expectations, both from his political sponsors, and from inside his team chosen for purpose, to "get 'er done" and get Trump.

But in the end he didn't see enough there and did shut it down. Thoughts?

In my opinion, the process was the punishment. It completely undermined the half of his presidency with the most potential, by sapping his political capital.

They had to have known early on there was nothing there, and that the investigation was initiated under false pretenses.
