The veteran criminal defense attorney who headed President Donald Trump's legal team during a crucial stretch of the special counsel investigation believes the entire affair will end in silence from special counsel Robert Mueller, and called the massive two-year probe into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign “a terrible waste of time.”
“I don't think there'll be a report,” John Dowd told ABC News in a wide-ranging interview for the premiere episode of "The Investigation," a new podcast focused on the probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller. “I will be shocked if anything regarding the president is made public, other than ‘We're done.’”
Dowd, 77, left his role as Trump’s lead attorney last March over differing views about how cooperative to be with prosecutors. But after spending nearly a year guiding the president’s legal strategy, he forged a close relationship with Trump and continues to speak with him about the Russia probe.

Full title: Former Trump lawyer slams Mueller probe, maintains president will be cleared: ‘Knock it off and get it done’
The foaming Left will be outraged and what’s left of their small portion of sanity will dry up like a dribble of water in a heat wave.
It’s going to get interesting.
I don't think it will faze them. They'll move on to another shinny object dangled by the MSM.
He protected all the corrupt democrats- mission accomplished!
Muller et al aren’t there to CLEAR the president. They won’t. Why on earth would they? When you permit dishonest people to conduct illegal un warrented investigations you get what THEY want for the end, not justice. Geez, what a buncha’ naifs.
Mueller has been actively helping state prosecutors, particularly in NY, to build cases against Trump on his foundation and his businesses, knowing that Trump cannot pardon himself or anyone else on state charges.
He is an evil ba$turd, and the state guy Preet Bahara has a huge axe to grind.
All this hate will not just evaporate when Mueller closes shop. His staff will probably go present the state cases.
The Left has really bought into this Russian conspiracy. The loons are breaking.
