All of this may be true, but...
Why didn’t the Mueller report indict the President?
Yes, I know there was no there there, but that would not have mattered if Mueller was the inside guy to bring down the President.
He could have lied in the report and the media and Congress would have happily accepted his lie as fact. He did not do that.
Without the Mueller investigation we would not know much about what the FBI and the DOJ did before and after the election. A case can be made that the entire Mueller investigation hurt the Democrats (and their friends in the media) more than it hurt President Trump. Is Mueller so incompetent that he was not aware of what his investigation was doing to the Democrats?
We now know that President Trump was tipped off shortly after elected about the “coup” going on. What did he do, who did he turn to for help. The President (any President) has a lot of assets to call on. The US Marshal service for one.
The conspirators know what they did so over the next few weeks they should be watched to see what they do.
Whatever they do, they should not go near Fort Marcy Park.
I’ll beleive the coup failed when all the plotters are in prison. Get back to me when the arrests begin. IMHO they are all being Smolletted at this moment.

Mueller was there to cover up the FISA and other abuses that were used pre-election to spy on the Trump team for Hillary. Had she won, "Russian Interference" into our elections would have quickly faded away as an issue.
Mueller could not have lied in his report, because he would have been called out on it, and the entire report could have been dismissed.
Instead, Mueller lays out an intricate story of salacious material (for example, Mueller quoting Trump as saying "I'm F'ed" in the report when that didn't need to be in there at all, and certainly not as such a graphic quote,) then at the very end saying "nothing rose to the level of a crime."
The whole point of the FISA warrants, and the Mueller investigation into all of Trump's business partners and family, was to find something, anything, with which to hang Trump. Once that juicy tidbit was uncovered and used against Trump, the world would soon forget all about the abuse of the FISA court.
The problem was, in spite of looking for TWO YEARS, and squeezing sleezeballs like Cohen for every drop of information they might have, nothing turned up, and nobody "rolled over" on Trump. That was Mueller's biggest problem. He couldn't find anything to pin on Trump.
Were I a betting man, even I would have bet that given the vast resources of an unlimited DOJ budget, the resources of the FBI, and a bunch of slimeballs willing to testify against him in order to save their own skins, that Mueller would have come up with something from Trump's past by now.
I mean, how do you deal in Real Estate in NYC for 40+ years without making some shady deals with "those guys" who think it would be a shame if something happened to that nice building. Concrete deliverys, trash hauling, dealing with Teamster unions, greasing the skids to get permits approved; somewhere, Trump must have slipped up and committed a crime that someone would testify to.
BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND A THING. And that was the most frustrating part for Mueller.
Now comes DOJ Inspector General Horowitz's report into the FISA mess, and before the 2020 elections we shall see some heads roll. Unfortunately, not sHrillary's head, and not Obummer's head, but probably Comey, and possibly Loretta Lynch.
We know who the conspirators are. They show up on CNN nightly. They don’t appear worried to me. Like any good crime boss I doubt they have fingerprints on any incriminating evidence. Their underlings however should be worried and talking to investigators. Will they turn state witness and point fingers to their boss? I doubt it. Swamp creatures have generations of spawn and family working in the swamp. Once you turn against the swamp your family is out and the gravy train ends. Your future swamp children will have to work in the private sector and forgo exclusive colleges and interns at the NYT.
Look at David Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager. He finished is college degree via correspondence in 2010. He left the White House in 2013 and received a swamp job at ABC News. He then got a swamp lobbying gig at Uber in 2014. He left Uber in 2017 and now is working at the swampy Chan Zukerberg Initiative. Along with his debutante wife, he paid $7,625,000 for a house in San Francisco in 2016.
The only way you get a swamp creature to turn is to threaten a lengthy prison sentence on them and their associates. Look what they are giving up.
Here is a theory:
Mueller deep down is basically an honest guy, but one that hates both Trump and 'bad guys' in general. His hate for these two overrides his honesty, thus he rationalizes (to himself) his bad actions to bring these people down (They deserve what they get!).
That 'over ride' allowed him to take the actions he did in Boston and now with the Mueller investigation. But he reached a breaking point, possibly after what was done to Stone.
So how does he extricate himself and somehow save face?
He writes an honest report, that was Part I, clearing the President of any crime. That is the 'honest' Mueller coming out.
He then writes Part II - Obstruction. He removes himself from the decision to indict and punts the ball down the road. That is the 'enough is enough' Mueller coming out; 'Trump is a bad guy, but I am done. Have at it if you want.' Is the message he is delivering.
Notice two things in the aftermath of the report:
Mueller's silence, but more importantly the silence of the cabal of Trump haters he hired. They know Part I is real: No Crime. They were pacified with Part II.
