Toobin remarked on the network that critics of Trump were ill-served by projecting suspicion onto the results of Mueller's report, which has not yet been released publicly, because of the fact that Mueller had apparently concluded the probe without announcing indictments of any more of Trump's associates.

"The fact that they are not indicted and are not going to be indicted by Robert Mueller and his grand jury is unambiguously good news for them," Toobin said on "Anderson Cooper 360."

"I mean, the idea of 'well maybe some other case will be brought ...' – I mean, sure, maybe. But by and large, this has been the main investigation," he added.

Republicans and allies of the president celebrated the news, emphasizing that no further indictments from Mueller's team proved that there were no criminal charges for a Trump associate relating to the issue of collusion with Russia.

"The Mueller report delivery suggests no more indictments are coming from the Special Counsel. If that's true, it would mean we just completed 2 years of investigating 'Russian collusion' without ONE collusion related indictment. Not even one," tweeted Rep.
