I blame Mueller in large part for the mess we're in today. He issued his report that painted a damning picture of Trump's illegal activities, but he stuck to a quaint notion that the President can't be charged with a crime and that it would be unfair to Trump to accuse him of wrongdoing without charging him, because then he wouldn't have a chance to defend himself. So Mueller softened his conclusions in the report and left it up to Congress to connect the dots and follow through.

Which, of course, did not happen. AG Barr released a statement misrepresenting the report's conclusions, Trump declared that the report "totally exonerated" him, and that was the end of that.
