There are a few answers to address different aspects of this. First, of course, Mueller's probe did find quite a few things that rise to the level of a prosecutable crime. It's been the most successful of of its kind, in that respect, even. Second, when it comes to Trump, Trump was not going to be prosecuted regardless, given DOJ policy, so him not being charged means nearly nothing at all. Of more interest is what's going on with those like Trump Jr. and his Trump Tower meeting that was done specifically with intent that breaks the law, followed by his recitation of the lies he was directed to tell to Congress. Third, well... Barr provided only the barest of answers to the various questions at hand, under circumstances where it's hard not to take his selectiveness as anything other than a blatant attempt to protect Trump in exactly the way that he was specifically chosen to do.
If Trump actually didn't collude with foreign powers, GOOD! When what we've currently got is little more than bare assertion from a Trump toadie that that's the case, though, it's not particularly convincing. Even moreso when the evidence in the public sphere that points quite firmly to such happening remains completely unaddressed.
At last check... He did do a few things. Looks like W.D. Clinger went into that more in detail though.
Out of order here, but... Several other measures than the congressional statement were referenced in the article.
...Trump and campaign WAS warned, though? That's one of the big reasons that Trump's "joke" request to Russia isn't actually credibly a joke. And that's before getting to his clarification that it wasn't really a joke in an interview from shortly after saying it.
Mmm. There's been a somewhat longstanding issue there, as I understand it, though. There have been quite a few sectors in the US that have been rather slow to adapt and take proper precautions, last I heard, including the military. It's one of the issues that certainly does deserve more attention, albeit relatively quiet attention. As plague311 pointed out, though, Trump's not only not ramped things up on that front, he's intentionally undermined the attempts to address the problems that were already in action. That's just one of the many strikes against him, in my opinion.
Hmm? Among who?
I'm in agreement with this. That is the most important thing, to start with. With that said, though... there's quite a bit that the public likely needs to be informed of, at this point, to address much of the information already floating around.
Some of the stuff that's reasonably likely to be addressed a bit, like the NRA stuff, is fairly certain to be rather damning to the Republican Party. Fear of that alone would be enough for him to want to block it, I think.
Perhaps better said as "If I released it, I would be under audit."
