But President Trump and Republicans would be wrong to assume that the Democrats' drive to impeachment has ended. The will to overturn the 2016 election never depended on Mueller.
He was merely the most likely instrument of Trump's undoing. Democrats have called for impeachment since Trump's inaugural. What they have lacked is the means.
Maxine Waters raised the idea in February 2017, months before Trump fired James Comey and set in motion the train of events culminating in Mueller's appointment as special counsel.
Tom Steyer launched Need to Impeach in October 2017, a year and a half before Mueller filed his report. Last January, on the first evening of the House Democratic majority, Rashida Tlaib declared her intention to "impeach this m—f—r."
Even if Mueller and his report fade from view—and there is no guarantee they will—the president's adversaries will continue to search for the annihilating angel who will deliver them from Donald Trump.
Why? Because the impeachment debate is not about what Trump has done, is doing, or might do. It is about whether he and the social forces he represents are entitled to rule.
