Obstruction of justice will be interesting moving forward. The fact that Mueller apparently gives arguments for both ends will means this is far from over.

What will be interesting with collusion is what is detailed in the report as being legal/no criminal intent. I have to imagine Democrats will try to pass something that makes it a crime to do whatever Stone and Papadopoulus did.

I think the Mueller investigation is dead in the water, from a Democrat perspective. Seeing the report will only make Democrats think the same thing they're already thinking "You can't prove anything, but you didn't exonerate him."

That is what I assume the majority of rational Democrats were expecting from the final report. Or, at the very least, they were taking the pessimistic route and hoping, against hope, that the final report would result in something other than "not enough to prove, not enough to exonerate."

The focus will now shift towards the SDNY investigation, which I have no idea when that'll all wrap up. But the idea of government returning "back to normal" is a fantasy that Republicans have long held out for at the conclusion of this report, and I think they're going to be awfully disappointed when they realize there are still plenty of investigations going on. The Mueller one is just the first to make landfall.
