This is basically the Mueller report all over again

DOJ: Oof, I really do not want to have to prosecute someone the Republicans like because they will make our lives hell in every single way, but this looks pretty bad... Ok, I'm just going to detail every single bad thing, but then just sum it up by saying the evidence doesn't quite establish things beyond any reasonable doubt and everyone can see what they want here.

Media: DOJ MORE OR LESS FINDS ROGER STONE SENTENCING ALL GOOD

Me: ... But, like four attorneys involved in this quit, and Bill Barr got personally involv-

GOP: Even the dad-gum librul media couldn't find anything on Trump, yee-haw!

“So nobody explicitly applied pressure, that we could find, although of course that kind of thing is by definition hard to find. We think that all that happened was that scattered individuals throughout our entire justice system, definitely including judges, prosecutors, bureaucrats who operate the machinery, and front line police who are tasked with enforcing the whole thing with violence on a day to day basis, think that one team should get preferential treatment and the system should treat their political opponents especially harshly, up to the limit of what will actually get them in trouble which is always changing and never in a good direction.”

"Sure, we have a victim with what looks exactly like a gunshot wound, but we couldn't find a smoking gun, so we're not gonna say he was shot."
