Here's what US political figures think about infamous Mueller's report

Key reaction to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited report on Russia's role in the 2016 U.S. election, released on Thursday:
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM:
"The results of the investigation are a total victory for the President. The report underscores what we have argued from the very beginning - there was no collusion - there was no obstruction. After a 17-month investigation, testimony from some 500 witnesses, the issuance of 2,800 subpoenas, the execution of nearly 500 search warrants, early morning raids, the examination of more than 1.4 million pages of documents, and the unprecedented cooperation of the President, it is clear there was no criminal wrongdoing. Nothing withheld; nothing concealed; nothing deleted; nothing destroyed, and nothing bleached."
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH McCONNELL:
"The nation is fortunate to have an experienced leader like Bill Barr in place to ensure maximum possible transparency while carefully protecting classified material and legally restricted grand jury information. Like all of my colleagues, I look forward to carefully reviewing the report."
DEMOCRATIC U.S. SENATOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS:
"Congress must receive this report in full along with all underlying investigative materials. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I know a selectively redacted version of the report is not sufficient for Congress to fulfil its responsibility to conduct meaningful oversight over this investigation and decisions made by Trump administration officials surrounding its conclusion."
