it's just that I FULLY expected indictments and convictions based on collusion with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election and on obstruction of justice, leading all the way up the chain to the Traitor-in-Chief. Perhaps, Rachel did TOO good of a job in her reporting, convincing me that it was a fait accompli, that the let down was overwhelming.

How can Mueller possibly think he finished his investigation if he didn't make Trump testify?

He acquiesced to written questions, something no prosecutor would ever do. He should have demanded Trump plead the 5th or testify. Test it in the courts if he refused. What the fuck good is subpoena power if you don't use it? Might as well not have it. If there was EVER a good test case to subpoena a sitting President, this was it. But Mueller just gave up.
