In particular, Mueller is a representative of the intelligence community, the military-industrial complex, the career officials, the "Bush-Cheney-McCain"-wing of the Republican party, and perhaps of the 'deep state'.
There is no doubt that he is Trump's adversary and wants to inflict damage on Trump and his brand of Republicanism.
Therefore, since the ongoing investigation is hurting Trump politically and this is Mueller's secondary (if not primary) goal, I expect his investigation to end either shortly after the midterms, or shortly after the 2020 election.
I agree with your assessment of Mueller.
But I also think it's possible the Trump campaign conspired with Russian officials and/or Trump obstructed justice in the Flynn case.
My take is that Mueller wants to do political damage to Trump but that Trump probably also committed wrongdoing.
Ultimately I don't think the Special Counsel will find enough to result in the Senate convicting Trump. But I do the Special Counsel in of itself has already derailed Trump's presidency. He's lost control of the narrative and if the political damage contributes to the GOP losing any chamber of Congress, Trump's firing of Comey in the context of the Flynn situation is one of the worst political mistakes in US history.
