The understatement of the decade. Nobody with more than two brain cells to clank together believed, at the time or since, that anybody except the Syrian ruling mafia was behind Hariri’s murder. I always thought that the incident should have been used as a casus for a total blockade, land, sea, and air, of Syria until the mob government there fell. That might have been unsuccessful, but if it did work you’d get some kind of uncriminal government in Syria at last without a bloodbath, which looks like the only other way to achieve that. If anybody outside of Syria is interested, which does not seem likely.

Now you can kiss off any result from this investigation. After more than four years now it will wind down gradually without achieving anything. The Syrians and thier consiglieri will stonewall even harder now. They know now that their tactics are working. Hariri will never be avenged or his murder solved.
