As usual, far too many pro- and anti-Trump pundits are pushing meretricious claims that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report proves either that President Trump is an innocent lamb or a deadly viper.

Dionne’s assertion that Trump is now shown culpable for “behavior that makes Richard Nixon look like George Washington.”

Really?
