You mean the one that ZERO convictions for the the actual issue it was tasked with investigating. Oh yeah, that one.

Each one of these links simply state his allegations, which is that he's making claims in court that the Clinton Campaign spied on Trump. Those claims may be accurate, or they may be inaccurate. The doubt comes from the partisan nature of who appointed this special council, an Attorney General (or anybody associated with the Trump administration) nobody takes seriously.
That investigation yielded 37 indictments and compelling evidence that Trump obstructed Justice. But the President by definition cannot commit a crime, therefore the report left it up to the public to determine. You can only bring criminal charges if a crime is committed, and since Trump could not commit crimes as President he cannot be charged with anything. There's a statement signed by more than 1,000 former Federal Prosecutors agreeing that if ordinary Americans committed acts the President did, they'd be charged with multiple counts of obstruction.
Correct, however, you said no one is taking it seriously. These news articles disagree with you. They take it seriously enough to spend resources covering it.

No I think he means the one that purposefully did not attempt to make a legal conclusion about what it was investigating, but did say that if the President would have been exonerated by the investigation, they would have said so, and they didn't.
Ha. I am not holding my breath that anything will come from this.

I read them all and aim somewhere in the middle. Honestly Foxnews headlines are approaching the old national enquirer.
So the one that had zero convictions on what was the primary investigation. Not even someone around the target was convicted :dunno for the primary investigation. Cohen for tax evasion and lying, Manafort for pre-election issues and the Florida guy for lying. So regardless of the President, why no one else?

The new shocker relates to the data Mr. Joffe and friends were mining. According to Friday’s filing, as early as July 2016 Mr. Joffe was “exploit[ing]” his “access to non-public and/or proprietary Internet data,” including “Internet traffic pertaining to . . . the Executive Office of the President of the United States (“EOP”).”
The filing explains that Mr. Joffe’s employer “had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided [internet services]” to the White House. Mr. Joffe’s team also was monitoring internet traffic related to Trump Tower, and Mr. Trump’s apartment on Central Park West.
White House communications are supposed to be secure, and the notion that any contractor—much less one with ties to a presidential campaign—could access them is alarming enough. The implication that the data was exploited for a political purpose is a scandal that requires investigation under oath.
The filing suggests the data collection continued into the Trump Presidency. Mr. Durham says that on Feb. 9, 2017, Mr. Sussmann met with a second federal agency (“Agency-2”) to provide “an updated set of allegations,” and that these “allegations relied, in part, on the purported [internet traffic] that [Mr. Joffe] and others had assembled pertaining to Trump Tower, Donald Trump’s New York City apartment building, the EOP” and a healthcare provider.
