As #MAGA -ites are to Mueller's statement that the report does not exonerate the president, so the anti-investigation left is to the report's account of very real Russian interference, which even Barr's letter treats as uncontroversial.

One group that is deeply invested in pretending that the reason Trump won is because he's a genius savior, the other very invested in pretending that the reason is because Hillary Clinton was the worst, most-hated, most awful person ever.

It's because she thought the presidency was hers by divine right and didn't campaign where she needed to campaign, and a bunch of Facebook ads didn't cost her the election.

When an outcome turns on <100,000 votes out of 130,000,000, there is no single "it's because." There are many, many things that played their parts in shifting 100,000 votes here and there.

Right, but to my mind that means Democrats would be better advised to focus on the stuff they could control (Clinton campaign's strategy & messaging) rather than stuff that was beyond their control (whatever Russian interference there was).

Prospectively, the 2018 House campaign mostly avoided the investigations, and the presidential candidates have mostly done so too. So is the claim "the Democrats would have been well-served by still more *retrospective* dissection of the Clinton campaign"?

Sure, agree that Dems as a party aren't focusing on running elections on the Russia stuff (true of 2018 and very likely true of 2020). Also case that whoever nominee is in 2020 will try to avoid some of Clinton's mistakes.
