Sure it was. The dirty cop would have loved more than anything to say, "President Trump definitely committed a crime, and here is the evidence," but he didn't. The only thing he could do was weakly declare that he could not not prove that a crime was committed, which is well outside the bounds of a prosecutor's role. As an experienced prosecutor, he should have known better.

See if you can figure out what that reason was.
You just don't like to admit that there is no evidence.
And that is where I think the comparison of evidence fails wrt Trump. Trump definitely colluded and violated the Trust of the American people. The issue is not did he, it is whether or not he did so in a way that can be shown beyond reasonable doubt to have been criminal.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

Because that would mean you never bothered to read the report.

I do when the media is hyping up orders of magnitude higher death rates than we actually had.
And yes the age of victims wasn't highly disseminated by the fearmongerers, in order to push the fear to everyone.
The story was plenty big enough.
What do you imagine their motive was to “push the fear to everyone”?
I know lots of people under 65 who had COViD.

Their motive was control for the people that they work for (Democrats), and ratings.
The ratings part, sure. But if ratings were really the goal of journalists (not network heads), they would have done everything in their powers to get Trump re-elected.
