From now on, the Trump-Russia affair, the investigation that dominated the first years of Donald Trump's presidency, will be divided into two parts: before and after the release of the Mueller report.
The change is due to one simple fact: Mueller could not establish that there was a conspiracy or coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign to fix the 2016 election.
Many Democrats adopted a "Wait for Mueller" stance, basing their anti-Trump strategy on the hope that Mueller would find the much-anticipated conspiracy.
They devised a plan to turn the Mueller report into a TV show, accessible to millions of viewers who have not read even a page of the report itself.
At the same time, they would insist that Attorney General William Barr, who has allowed top lawmakers to see the full Mueller report with the exception of a small amount of grand jury material, was hiding something, and that the hidden material might reveal presidential wrongdoing.
The White House, which provided Mueller testimony and documents that might easily have been withheld as privileged, has not been so forthcoming with Congress.
At the Capitol recently, they enlisted Hollywood star John Cusack to take part in a public reading of the entire Mueller report - it took 12 hours - as C-Span cameras rolled.
