No it didn’t. It made a prosecutorial decision that for various reasons it would be inappropriate to bring criminal charges of conspiracy. That is not at all the same thing as saying there was no collusion.
For instance, the report states that they could not be certain that they could prove that Don Jr understood the law when he committed the crime of conspiracy and that was the only reason given for not charging him. But no reasonable person who understands this would say that means there was no collusion.
I was a LEO for 25 years, a criminal investigator for a chunk of those years.
Either there is evidence to go to the grand jury, or file with the DA, where a case can be taken to court and adjudicated, or there is not.
Conspiracy is a specific intent crime. One must be able to prove the subject had specific intent to commit the crime. Without intent, there is no conspiracy.
If I cannot feel comfortable with my evidence,if it is weak, and will not prove conspiracy, the case ends.
Now, what you think about my investigation or the quality of evidence it is totally irrelevant. It is like counting goals in a table tennis game, it means nothing, just another opinion.
The investigator and prosecutor are responsible for evaluating evidence and bringing a case are the only ones that count.
No case means no conspiracy. Anyone accused is presumed innocent till they are proved guilty in a court of law.
No adjudication, no crime, innocence.
Again, opinions mean nothing.
