Did Mueller conspire to influence the 2018 election?

We now know that Mueller found no evidence of collusion with Russia by any Americans.  Yet going into the 2018 elections the media was saturated with stories that Trump was a traitor who was in Putin's pocket.

Given that Mueller's final report--which probably took a long time to write given how it artfully converts statements of fact, "there was no obstruction", to subtle condemnation, "maybe this could have been obstruction if the law was different"--was released now it's likely that Mueller really knew that there was no collusion before the 2018 election but intentionally chose to say nothing.

It can be argued that a prosecutor isn't supposed to say anything until he passes charges but the reality is that the Mueller investigation had been leaking like a sieve from the beginning.

What's odd is that all the leaks turned out to be lies that favored the Democrat narrative.  Given the report we have in our hands any truthful leaks should have been favoring Trump.

Take the infamous BuzzFeed story that said that Cohen had testified that Trump told him to lie to Congress.  It was supposedly based on law enforcement sources. Interestingly this story was so over the top that Mueller did correct it.  The question is why didn't Mueller correct all the stories about Trump being a traitor when he knew that after over a year of investigation he hadn't found a shred of evidence to support that?

Given Mueller's friendship with Comey, his history of publicly going after people who turned out to be innocent, and his affection for the FBI it's hardly implausible to suggest that he may have wanted to get Trump.  He could have been motivated by ideological bias or merely by his own historically demonstrated desire to always indict someone for something.

But by effectively collaborating with the #FakeNews media to smear the Republicans prior to the 2018 election Mueller corrupted our electoral process far more than the tiny number of ads the Russians bought.

The Democrats, Mueller, and the #FakeNews media succeeded in destroying American's trust in our elections where Putin had failed.

Thanks to Mueller's silence and the active lying by Democrats and the #FakeNews media 52% of Democrats believe that Russia successfully tampered with the vote tallies to get Trump elected.

Yet there is not one jot of evidence that that was the case.

In the end Mueller's silence probably gave the Democrats the House.  If he honestly didn't have his answers at the time, if he had credible reason to believe that the truth was just around the corner, then that's still a problem because he didn't correct the continual #FakeNews media reporting that said that he had evidence of Trump's guilt.

An honest man who didn't want to be used to advance the Democrat narrative would have stated before the election that as of this time there was no evidence that Trump was a traitor but that the investigation was on-going.

Instead Mueller chose silence.
