That's not what McCarthyism was, but fortunately we don't have to jump to conclusions about what evidence the federal intelligence agencies does or does not have.

The investigation and court cases are going to proceed, so jumping on not having access to information that is specifically not publicly available to somehow argue that such information doesn't exist is a ridiculously short-sighted and nonsensical strategy.

Except for Trump's team and Republican propagandists, where undermining Mueller in the court of public opinion while he is investigating in necessary silence allows for a few outs. The first that the Special Counsel's conclusion can be weathered by the Republicans in Congress if it can be sufficiently discounted as partisan, witch-hunt, etc. The second that interfering (via firings or other means) can be excused for those reasons.
Literally everything written above is wrong.

While I appreciate people taking an interest in the subject, one quickly realizes that perhaps this is the first time one has considered the issues? Mueller is acting like McCarthy

The defendants are entitled to the information Mueller has.

Mueller and his team do not want to give it to them.

Mueller and his team are way over their skis and are going to have make a hard decision to dismiss the indictment.
