It also showed 4 cut-and-dry cases of obstruction of justice by Trump which Mueller asserted contributed to his inability to bring a conspiracy case against Trump.
As for the Sussman case, the prosecution also failed to show materiality, an essential element of this charge because the FBI was already investigating Trump anyway. Also, the jury foreperson publicly said that the case should have never been brought and was a complete waste of time. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Barr/Durham.

I do appreciate you making my point for me. What were most of the convictions or pleas the stemmed from the Mueller investigation really about? Lying or making false statements, in most cases to the FBI. Apparently when folks related to Trump do it, its a victory to get them convicted or to get them to cop a plea. When someone tied to the Clinton Campaign does it: "...the case should have never been brought and was a complete waste of time."
