Despite the fact that the Mueller Report should not have been authorized in the first place & was written as nastily as possible by 13 (18) Angry Democrats who were true Trump Haters, including highly conflicted Bob Mueller himself, the end result is No Collusion, No Obstruction!

An attorney for former White House counsel Don McGahn is pushing back after President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani went after McGahn's credibility following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
McGahn's lawyer responded after Giuliani gave interviews to The New York Times and The Washington Post in which he went after McGahn's account of various instances of potential obstruction of justice detailed in the special counsel report...
“If McGahn thought any of those things were crimes, why did he stay there?” Giuliani asked Friday during an interview with The Washington Post. “They’re trying to make it out as if there’s something illegal about what happened with McGahn. The guy is a very good lawyer.”
“If he believed that there was something illegal, he wouldn’t have stayed in his job,” he added.
Giuliani also went after McGahn's account to Mueller in an interview with The New York Times.
“It can’t be taken at face value,” Giuliani told the newspaper. “It could be the product of an inaccurate recollection or could be the product of something else.”
“It’s a mystery why Rudy Giuliani feels the need to re-litigate incidents the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General have concluded were not obstruction. But they are accurately described in the report,” McGahn's attorney William Burck said in a statement to The Hill.
