Looking back on 2019, the Mueller Report looks as a failure of US law enforcement & democracy that might prove mortal for US democracy if Trump is not voted out of power in 2019 for at least four reasons.
1. Mueller did not even check Trump's finances, neither his tax returns, nor who guaranteed his Deutsche Bank credits. With great probability, these credits were guaranteed by Kremlin sources, but Mueller failed us. Trump's finances remain secret, a failure for US democracy.
2. Mueller establishes that Manafort worked closely w Konstantin Kilimnik, know to all others as GRU officer, worked for GRU with polling data & "peace plans" & was paid $60mn by Oleg Deripaska, but Mueller failed to conclude that Manafort was a GRU asset. What a scandal.
3. Mueller failed to shed any light on Trump's private meetings with Putin in Hamburg July 2017 or Helsinki July 2018 or his many phone calls with Putin. Since the main accusation was collusion with Putin that was rather important.
4. While Mueller in effect established ten cases of obstruction of justice by Trump, he refused to draw the obvious conclusion because William Barr insisted he must not. A special counsel should show some civil courage and not be a coward. Mueller failed the US & its democracy.
