know anything at all about the law are aware of how much Mueller's statement today hurt Trump.
Dershowitz already has an op-ed bitching about Mueller at The Hill:

Special counsel Robert Muellers statement in a Wednesday press conference that if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that," is even worse than the statement made by then-FBI Director James Comey regarding Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Comey was universally criticized for going beyond his responsibility to state whether there was sufficient evidence to indict Hillary Clinton. Mueller, however, did even more. He went beyond the conclusion of the Mueller Report and gave a political gift to congressional Democrats who are seeking to institute impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
By implying that President Trump may have committed obstruction of justice, Mueller effectively invited Democrats to institute impeachment proceedings, because obstruction of justice is clearly a high crime and misdemeanor which, under the Constitution, authorizes the impeachment and removal of an incumbent president.
Until today, I have defended Robert Mueller against accusations that he is a partisan. I did not believe that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. I have now changed my mind. By putting his thumb indeed, his elbow on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He also has distorted the role of a prosecutor in our justice system.

Giuliani attacked Mueller on Fox News -- see this thread, which links to an article with video:
