“ Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who found no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.” I’d have to go back and research it, but If my I remember it correctly Mueller was constrained in his investigation by Rod Rosenstein and was also constrained by DOJ precedent about indicting a sitting President. He was also unable to examine encrypted communications. There was also a bunch of false testimony, like by Michael Flynn. The eventual proclamation that there was no conspiracy to Russian interference was made by an interpretation by Bill Barr. But the report did show there was interference by Russia and the Trump campaign was happy about it.
