Democrats are, without question, worse off now than they were before former special counsel Robert Mueller gave his five hours of testimony.

Anyone who watched the back-to-back hearings Wednesday got exactly nothing new from Mueller. He said again that there was no proof of a conspiracy between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign. He reiterated that his office was never going to determine whether the president had committed a crime. And he said that his investigation was never “curtailed or stopped or hindered” by the White House.
