Pretty accurate. Aside from pithy "NO COLLUSION!" and WITCH HUNT bits, Trump has been pretty mum on the Mueller investigation as of late. Quite a while back, he was calling for people to be fired or resigned or whatever. I don't know if he was told not to do it by his counsel or just didn't get the desired response but he did adjust his messaging.
It's clear that his team is waiting to sort things out. Probably want to find out if it's going to be published and how much of it will be published. I predict a heavily edited version of the report that moved all of the damning stuff to be revealed to the public.

This. People really don't care as much about the Russia collusion as much as they should because people cannot directly feel its effects. It's simply too abstract for the average person. People care about things that have noticeable effects like losing healthcare and getting screwed on their taxes. They don't need to hear about how ****ty Trump is because their opinions on him are already set in stone. That isn't going to move the needle and get out the vote. Democratic candidates need to paint a bright, positive picture of America's future rather than one filled with fear and negativity of what happens if Trump is elected.
