(CNN) Special counsel Robert Mueller found that no one in the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in 2016 -- but Democrats are not ready to accept that finding. In interviews since Attorney General William Barr issued his four-page letter on Sunday , Democrats have refused to accept that determination, saying there's ample evidence of Trump campaign and Russia contacts that may not have risen to the level of criminal conduct. They are demanding the full release of the Mueller report to determine what else the special counsel found, and they appear intent to continue investigating ties between Trump and Russia. "What I accept was there was apparently no criminal conspiracy ... with the Russians," Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, told CNN. Republicans say that Mueller's finding that there was no conspiracy with Russia is vindication for the President — and a clear sign it's time for Democrats to move on.
