WP (my emphasis): "If collusion means what Mueller reasonably took it to mean—an 'agreement,' 'tacit or express,' with the Russians to interfere with the election, or, in effect, a conspiracy—it was always virtually unimaginable that collusion, *so defined*, would ever be found."
1/ Conway—writing in the WP—gets it: no one ever believed Trump had a before-the-fact tacit/express agreement with the Russians—either the IRA or GRU—to interfere in the 2016 election. And that's why—for all that Trump claimed his innocence of that accusation—no one ever made it.
2/ The most interesting articles that can be written right now are those noting how much the media got *right*. For instance, no one accused Trump of Conspiracy with the IRA or GRU—and Mueller found no such Conspiracy. On Obstruction, people thought maybe, and Mueller said maybe.
