Inexpert but pretty-much sane initial commentary:
1. Speaking as one citizen, I'm inclined to respect the findings of the Mueller special counsel investigation. (Those revealed thus far..) (Pls. read on..)
More information and greater detail about the Mueller report are required, PUBLICLY. (...As much as is reasonably possible, given certain, possible 'top secret' or grand jury-related material, etc.)
I believe that a majority in at least one house of Congress, plus a likely majority of the American people are (or will soon be) in general agreement about this
2. When in doubt, always look back to point #1.
3. The headline (below) widely available (3/24/19) via Foxnews.com is misleading, incorrectly paraphrasing a quotation from Vice President Mike Pence. The headline can give the impression that Pence is encouraging 'every American' to 'welcome' the complete findings solely of the (entire) Mueller investigation:(3/24/19 partial screen-captured image:)
(3/24/19 source link. Inaccessible via this blog page as of 3/25/19. The original link (here) has not been altered.)
...In fact, the quotation is both truncated and appears to be taken out of context. When I read Pence's entire quotation on the matter (below), I derive a different intent, and a different message. (Emphasis is added:)
“...The Attorney General also confirmed that there was no obstruction of justice,” Pence added. “This total vindication of the President of the United States and our campaign should be welcomed by every American who cherishes the truth and the integrity of our elections.”(Source link)
Insert: FWIW, here is the statement in more detail via Pence's Twitter account. (Copy:)

>>>3/25/19 update: ↓Current message received when attempting to follow the foxnews.com article link posted above (i.e., on this tiny-blog page). (Screen-captured image:)
Readers will (apparently) have to take my word for this, but the foxnews.com article discussed above still exists (as of 3/25/19). You (or some of us, apparently) just can't (presently) access it from my tiny-blog page!
I was able to successfully follow the story's published web link via a search page outside of my blog this morning. (3/25/19)
There could be other explanations for why access is currently denied from here. But I prefer the one that goes: Any dissent or criticism involving 'State Media' Fox News published material, (especially) that which involves the Trump regime.... is suppressed, discredited or similar.
At least it's (oddly) good to know that I may have at least one (possibly somewhat influential) reader either from Fox and/or the Trump regime..

Concluding commentary for now:
...Given Donald Trump's long, continuing career of skirting -- if not outright violating -- the law, the legal issues of/for Donald Trump (and at least some of his remaining, not-yet-charged cohorts) are likely about as "OVER" as (..say) ↓this (was/is):

There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!— Donald J.
