The Mueller investigation has already indicted and convicted many people -- even if nothing further is announced when he closes this down, I would still count this as a 'win' for justice.
Certainly, this investigation has been far more successful, both in convictions, pleas, and monetary fines, than anything discovered in Bengazhi!! And yet I have yet to hear a single far righty admit that Bengazhi was a waste of time, tax dollars, and a fake news story that still hasn't died. Honestly, going back and looking at the far right media's hysteria over Hillary sending some emails over a private server looks positively quaint, in the age of Trump. Trump's National Security Advisor being an undisclosed agent for Turkey, and publishing a pro-Turkey op ed on inauguration day, seems a whole lot more treasonous than using an unprotected email server, and yet the far right media only want to talk about Flynn being railroaded.

I don't understand. The investigation resulted in several guilty pleas, prison sentences, and fines. How is that a fake investigation?

All of them. Well there were some ancillary to his investigation, which is why he handed them off to others like new York state.
Regardless of how many times trump tweeted it, Muller was not brought in for "collusion".

Hillary Clinton was originally investigated for Benghazi!! because the right wingers wanted to prove that Benghazi!! was her fault.
Being unable to demonstrate how the secretary of state would overrule the military commanders who oversaw the attack, the investigation then turned to looking under any rock for any type of malfeasance they could find - which turned out to be her use of a personal email server.
Following your logic, should they have ignored the email server, since it wasn't the original point of the investigation?
