"The Dems are now coming out of shock from the terrible Mueller performance, and are starting to spin impeachment all over again," Trump tweeted. "How sick & disgusting and bad for our Country are they. What they are doing is so wrong, but they do it anyway. Dems have become the do nothing Party!"
The president also bashed Mueller's "display of ineptitude & incompetence."

The Democrats were trying mightily to revive the badly & irrevocably tarnished Witch Hunt Hoax until Robert Mueller put on the greatest display of ineptitude & incompetence that the Halls of Congress have ever seen. Truth is, he had no facts on his side. Nothing he could do!

“Whatever decision we make in that regard would have to be done with our strongest possible hand, and we still have some outstanding matters in the courts,” Pelosi said at a press conference after the hearing.
Mueller in his testimony reiterated that his team did not "reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime" but said that Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice after he leaves office.
