Things I think: 1) If you have any integrity and think that Mueller is a solid prosecutor you have to accep the conclusion that there is no solid evidence that Trump and his campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russians /1
2) You have to also accept the conclusion that the evidence of obstruction was equivocal, which is unsurprising given the mixture of Presidential motives at play here and the difficulty of proving obstruction when there is no proof of an underlying crime /2
3) But you have to also accept that the evidence of Russian interference and attempted interference in our election (via social media, and hacking) is overwhelming and you have to also wonder why it is in the face of that evidence the President continues to ignore the issue /3
4) And you have to also accept that the Presidents campaign manager; deputy campaign manager; personal attorney and first national security advisor are felons who belong in jail /4
5) And you have to accept that a number of other people lied about the nature of their conduct and have been convicted of that crime -- though you have to wonder about why they lied /5
6) And finally, you have to understand that setting the bar at "POTUS is not a criminal" is setting it way too low. For any of a dozen reasons, Donald Trump is a horrible President. The fact that he isn't a Russian co-conspirator is small comfort. /end
