President Trump’s critics are now picking apart his statement. Like with a verbal Rorschach test, they are reading between the lines to find what they want to find.

For example, in his report Mueller definitively declared his investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government.” But in his news conference, Mueller said that “there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy.”

“Aha!” the collusion truthers cry. “He’s saying there may have been a broader conspiracy, but he just found ‘insufficient evidence’ to bring charges.” No, sorry, that isn’t what the report says. It says that “the investigation did not identify evidence that any US persons knowingly or intentionally coordinated with [Russia’s] interference operation.”

The same is true when it comes to obstruction.
