“His [Mueller’s] investigation uncovered multiple attempts by the president to hamper his investigation into potential misconduct by Trump and his associates.”
That is a lie. How ever justified POTUS may have been in shutting down and obstructing Mueller’s investigation, he never did. Even if he discussed it on occasion, he ultimately let the investigation play out and encouraged his associates to cooperate with Mueller. The Mueller report makes this clear. The author is a liar, plain and simple.
19 Apr: The Intercept: Glenn Greenwald: Robert Mueller Did Not Merely Reject the Trump-Russia Conspiracy Theories. He Obliterated Them
The two-pronged conspiracy theory that has dominated U.S. political discourse for almost three years – that (1) Trump, his family and his campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, and (2) Trump is beholden to Russian President Vladimir Putin — was not merely rejected today by the final report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It was obliterated: in an undeniable and definitive manner...
As Mueller himself concluded, a reasonable debate can be conducted on whether Trump tried to obstruct his investigation with corrupt intent. But even on the case of obstruction, the central point looms large over all of it: there was no underlying crime established for Trump to cover-up...
The sweeping Mueller investigation ended with zero indictments of zero Americans for conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election...
But the contempt in which the media and political class is held by so much of the U.S. population – undoubtedly a leading factor that led to Trump’s election in the first place – will only continue to grow as a result, and deservedly so. People know they were scammed, that their politics was drowned for years by a hoax. And none of that will go away no matter how insulated media and political elites in Washington, northern Virginia, Brooklyn, and large West Coast cities keep themselves, and thus hear only in-group affirmation while blocking out all of that well-earned scorn.

Discussing shutting down the investigation, nay, even THINKING about shutting it down, nay, just complaining about the investigation, is a crime.
