Lord knows, the information that was already in the public domain about the Trump campaign and the Russians was damning enough. The real question about Mueller was whether he had some additional evidence of wrongdoing that was so compelling that even GOP senators would vote to remove him from office. The answer, as it turns out, was no.
It was necessary and appropriate for the Democrats to demand as much of the report as possible, given Barr’s efforts to spin it in the interests of his boss, not the nation. Now, however, there is no blood left in that stone. It’s time to move on.
