Special Counsel Robert Mueller's conclusion that U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign did not collude with Russia in the 2016 election is a serious blow to Democrats who had hoped Mueller's report would boost their own wide-ranging probes into Trump's business dealings. Democrats promptly called for the release of Mueller's full report and noted that he did not exonerate Trump on the question of whether the president obstructed justice in trying to undermine investigations into the election campaign. “Bad day for those hoping the Mueller investigation would take President Trump down," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham observed. Even some high-level Democrats were talking not so much of ramping up investigations but the need to address bread-and-butter domestic issues. Other Democrats tweeted about the need to curb gun violence and impose tougher constraints on offshore oil drilling.
