Reminder: No prosecutor in the history of the nation is ever tasked with finding innocence. Prosecutor's sole job is to find guilt and if he/she cannot find evidence for guilt, decline to indict. In our system of justice, innocence is automatically presumed. It requires no proof.
1. Crying Shame of Mueller's Pseudo-Investigation

Mueller ignored the likely illegal origins of the Steele dossier, the insertion of FBI informants into the Trump campaign, the unlawful leaking of documents, and the conflicted testimonies of high-level intelligence officials.
2. All of those things were potential felonies. All in some way yielded information that Mueller drew on in his investigation. Yet Mueller never recommended a single indictment of any of the Obama-era officials who likely broke laws.
3. Mueller was instead fixated on possible collusion with Russia. But it is a crime to knowingly hire a foreign national to work on a presidential campaign. That is what the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC did when they paid British subject Christopher Steele to smear Trump.
4. Did Mueller argue that the possible crimes of Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe and others -- perjury, obstruction of justice, deceiving the FISA Court, spying, unmasking and leaking the identities of individuals under surveillance -- were only peripheral to his investigation?
5. Not really. After all, Mueller indicted Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone and others for crimes that had nothing to do with collusion and were far less serious than the improper behavior of top Obama administration bureaucrats.
6. In other words, the exclusive purpose of the Mueller investigation was to 'get Trump,' not pursue the evidence wherever it might lead. And that is a crying shame. Now it falls to AG Barr and the career prosecutors at the DoJ to act on Inspector General's findings.

The End
Alan Dershowitz once again nails it.

Gregg Jarrett: 'An experienced federal prosecutor, Mueller certainly knew this. It appears he had no intention of treating Trump equitably or applying the law in conformance with our criminal justice system.'

BTW, as Special Prosecutors go, Mueller has behaved better than his predecessors in similar roles. So there is a part of me that hates to dump on Mueller too much. That said, Mueller is not new to making mistakes. As the head of FBI, he testified thus:
