Only evidence that they Mueller went after Trump directly with though was in regards to interference though, right? All of this sounds so long ago but it really wasn't, which is an insane thing for all of us to think about. Yes some Trump people were indicted, but there was no ability of the Mueller investigation to prove direct links to Trump in terms of his knowledge or direct approval of what was going on, right? Let me know if I'm misremembering or something here, not trying to change the story or anything, just curious.
That's the thing, it wasn't a 'trump investigation' that's just what Trump made it seem like. It was an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which included ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. There was interference, and there were ties between the campaign and Russia. It was not a witch hunt.
In the end, he did lay out several clear instances of obstruction that Trump would've likely been already charged with if he were not the sitting president - and left the door open for a few other charges.

Although he'll probably have a few 'get out of federal prison free' cards, I suspect Muellers findings will haunt Trump long after he leaves office.
I probably should've been more clear about what I was saying here.
When talking about the Mueller investigation I was talking about the direct links to Trump. I do understand what the full implications of the investigation and how it highlighted potential issues, and issues, that we had in our voting process and how easily manipulated people could be into supporting a particular candidate through fake news spreading online from Russia.
I am personally of the belief that a former President will never be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Maybe he'll have some legal issues, yes, but I don't think that he is going to be arrested or anything like that. I've heard some say this, and it irks me a bit cause he is still a former President.
