After Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed his long-awaited report on its Russia investigation with the attorney general, the mainstream media appeared stunned by the revelation that there would be no further indictments.

According to a letter Attorney General William Barr sent to several senators, Mueller had concluded “his investigation of the Russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters.” And is “not recommending any further indictments,” a senior DOJ official told multiple news outlets after the report was filed.
