The man who spent two years trying to destroy Donald Trump is dead.
Now Trump just said exactly what millions of Americans were thinking.
Here is what the President posted the moment he found out.
Trump Posts on Truth Social After Robert Mueller Dies at 81
Robert Mueller died Friday at 81 after a years-long battle with Parkinson's disease.
Trump went straight to Truth Social.
"Robert Mueller just died," the President wrote. "Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"
No hedging. No diplomatic condolences. No pretending the last decade didn't happen.
That's the response of a man who watched a $32 million witch hunt consume two years of his first term – a probe that ended with a finding of zero criminal conspiracy between his campaign and Russia.
Zero.
Nineteen lawyers, roughly 40 FBI agents, 22 months, and 448 pages later – the report confirmed what Trump had been saying since day one.
The Durham Report later found that law enforcement "possessed no actual evidence of collusion" when the FBI launched its Crossfire Hurricane investigation in the first place.
They opened a full federal counterintelligence probe against a sitting president with no evidence to justify it.
The Russia Investigation Was a Witch Hunt and the Durham Report Proved It
The Russia investigation wasn't just a waste of taxpayer money – it was a deliberate effort to cripple a presidency that Washington's permanent class refused to accept.
Hillary Clinton's campaign funded the Steele Dossier, a collection of unverified opposition research that the FBI used as the basis for surveillance warrants against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
The Durham investigation concluded the FBI displayed a "serious lack of analytical rigor" and "significant reliance on investigative leads" provided by Trump's political opponents.
Senator Lindsey Graham put it plainly: "The facts confirm the investigation was launched and continued as part of a political agenda."
Mueller filed charges against 34 individuals and three companies – but not one charge established that Donald Trump or anyone on his campaign conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Not one.

The investigation did catch several Trump associates in process crimes – lying to investigators, financial fraud unrelated to the campaign – but the central premise of Russiagate, the thing Democrats screamed about for three years on cable news, was never proven.
It was a hoax. Mueller ran it. And Trump never forgot.
Why the FBI Agents Who Ran the Russia Hoax Never Faced Justice
The media will spend this week eulogizing Mueller as a man of integrity, a decorated Marine, a straight arrow who just happened to spend two years targeting the most investigated president in American history.
What they won't say is this: the Deep State used Mueller as cover, ran a two-year federal investigation against a sitting president with opposition research paid for by his opponent, and every single person responsible for it kept their pension.
Peter Strzok, the FBI agent running Crossfire Hurricane, texted his girlfriend that the team would "stop" Trump from becoming president.

He kept his job for a year after those texts were discovered.
The agents who falsified FISA warrant applications to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page were never charged.
And when Durham finally came to clean it up after four years, his investigation produced one conviction – a mid-level FBI lawyer who altered an email – and two jury acquittals.
Trump's response to Mueller's death isn't cruel.
It's the only honest thing anyone in Washington has said about Robert Mueller in years.
