After reading the report I'm left with this feeling that what we have is a president saved from committing several felonies by his own incompetence.
Clearly there was cooperation (I'll avoid the other C word) between the Trump campaign and the Russians but the Trump organization was in such a state of chaos that the left hand didn't know what the left finger was doing.
That leaves us with the question of obstruction of justice. Trump, given his narcissistic personality, was clearly furious that he, the royal he, was being investigated and struck out on numerous occasions.
Luckily, for him, subordinates simply ignored him and, again, the administration was in such chaos that often they got away with it. I love the final sentence of Mueller's own summary.
"Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."
Which, as far as I can tell means absolutely nothing. The inability to prove a negative does mean a whole hell of a lot.
