At a minimum I think Mueller is trying to save face and Rosenstein is trying to save his own bacon - distracting from his role in the Steele dossier. There is also an element of "aw shucks, this all we found" when other people are now on the trail and the evidence is leading back toward people like Hillary/Obama/Comey/Rice/Ohr/Page/Strzok/Rosenstein, plus others. I distrust both Mueller and Rosenstein and like the skilled swamp politicos that they are, they will use elements of truth to appear credible when convenient and/or necessary. The only collusion I have seen any evidence of is collusion with the Hillary campaign and Russia (via FusionGPS and corrupt elements in the FBI leadership, DOJ leadership, and portions of the IC). Money flowed from Perkins Coie (a law firm working for the Hillary campaign) to FusionGPS to fund the dossier. The dossier was given credibility by the corrupt elements in the FBI even though it was known to have been manufactured. Nellie Ohr worked for FusionGPS on the dossier and her husband Bruce Ohr was involved on the FBI end. As more and more is learned about who was actually playing dirty, they want to shut the investigations down by throwing some unreachable Russians under the bus - trying to cut their loses. The classic Alinsky tactic of "accuse your opponent of that which you yourself are doing" is blowing up in their faces in slow motion. The OIG report due in March will bring the heavy evidence to bear. Horowitz was appointed to the OIG by Obama, but his position was essentially neutered until the Trump administration took over. Horowitz has been turned loose and has been busy. I'm expecting the 1.2 million page report to be quite interesting. The Nunes FISA abuse memo is only a very small distillation of that still classified report. I support declassifying as much of the OIG report as possible.
