My suspicious nature says that this is an effort to protect the Clintons. Hillary in particular.

Perhaps a “Let bygones be bygones” effort?

I’m also curious about Mueller and the Special Counsel investigation. It was inititated through Comey’s deceit, now acknowledged. In other words, ‘There is no there, there”.

POTUS Trump is owed an apology by Dems and MSM.
They ficticiously started Russia thing the day after Hildebeast lost, all BS and they knew it.

They have known for months Comey had nothing because Dem Macabe knew and he was top at the AG office.
They knew Trump never Target,

Comey set up Scooter Libby, ruined his life.

GOP needs to pass Healthcare and tax reduction and get building the wall

This was my first thought as well.. one party did have foreign nationals voting, ones party had a fixed primary, ones candidate did have numerous connection points with the Russians. Now it is time to lock her up

People naturally accept the narrative that SC exists because Comey leaked of Trump's "attempt to obstruct justice" (all shorthand, I am not accepting any of those characterizations as true).

I think that is a totally false narrative.

Just on a timeline basis, Mueller was appointed before "Trump obstructed justice" was known. There never was a "Trump obstruction" investigation opened.

Mueller's charter is to take up and finish the FBI investigations that touch on connections between Team Trump and the Russian government. And of course, any few places those investigations might lead, which I imagine aren't many if any.

So why would the FBI boot those investigations out of the FBI, and to Mueller? I think because Rosenstein won't be trusted to carry out the investigations started by Comey, because Rosenstein could be viewed as triggering the firing of Comey. That's the conflict of interest in the FBI. I also think Rosenstein didn't want the hot potato of eventually declaring a clean bill. The press is going to attack whoever gives anybody on the Trump team a clean bill.
