The Mueller Report, despite the best efforts of the chief author and his partisan investigative staff, is a bone-crushing defeat for the president's enemies.
As there is clearly no excuse for the special counsel to have been established, Mueller devotes the second half of his report to an effort to scratch together a virtual justification for it, by leading the reader through another maze to imply that there might be a conceivable case against the president for obstruction of justice.
There is only, though Mueller did not have the elemental decency to put it so clearly, though the attorney general did, evidence that the president was frequently annoyed at being tormented and defamed as a suspect in the commission of a heinous offense, of which he was not only innocent, but which did not occur.
Having determined to do so anyway, Rosenstein should not have asked Mueller to perform that function, given Mueller's entire identification with the FBI and close past association with Comey and Rosenstein, including in the Uranium One affair involving the Clintons.
Rosenstein had more reason to recuse than Sessions did, and Mueller had every reason to decline to take on the assignment.
Rosenstein should never have tolerated the assembly by Mueller of an investigative team that was so incandescently partisan and anti-Trump, and the acting FBI director, Andrew McCabe, was too conflicted, with his wife's status as a Democratic state candidate in Virginia and protegee of the Clintons, and should never have had anything to do with any of it.
Mueller failed at every stage except the reluctant and slightly conditionalized admission that there was no basis to the original subject of his investigation.
