Had Trump been guilty of obstruction or collusion, he could have been charged upon leaving office. It was Muellers job to PROVE collusion or obstruction and say it. He didn't say it because there is no proof. Period.
It was Mueller's job to investigate, preserve the evidence, and file his report.
It was NOT Mueller's job to prove conspiracy or Obstruction of Justice, because trump as the sitting President can't be indicted.
The DOJ OLC long standing memorandum will not allow a sitting president to be indicted or charged for anything.
How many times do you have to hear the same reason over and over?
It's up to Congress to investigate and file Articles of Impeachment if the charges meet their interpretation of High Crimes and Misdemeanors as spelled out in the US Constitution.
That's exactly what Muller stated in his news conference yesterday.
There is more evidence contained in the Mueller Report than was contained in either the Watergate Investigation, or the Clinton Impeachment.
Contrary to your closed mind, trump is in a world of hurt because he chose to side with Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and North Korea over the evidence presented by all of the US Agencies.
The Mueller Report findings are just the starting point for the House of Representatives investigations. They will continue to gather evidence, as they move toward opening Impeachment Investigations. This will not be a rush job impeachment like the GOP did against President Bill Clinton.
Don't be surprised when Senator Mitch McConnell, and Senator Lindsey Graham are both brought up on Obstruction of Justice charges in connection to trump's impeachment. Both of them are already in trouble for ethics violations.

Enter Rusal, a Russian aluminum company that until just three months ago was barred from doing business in the United States in part because of its ties to Deripaska. The Trump administration lifted the sanctions in January after Deripaska agreed to reduce his ownership stake in the Moscow-based company, the world’s second-largest aluminum manufacturer, from 70% to less than 45%.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao failed last year to cash out her stock options in one of the nation’s largest suppliers of highway construction materials, despite a promise she had made to do so in a signed ethics agreement when she joined the Trump administration.
Ms. Chao had served for about two years on the board of directors of the company, Vulcan Materials, an Alabama-based supplier of rock aggregate, which is used in road construction and many other building projects. The board position paid Ms. Chao $110,000 plus $151,000 in stock options in 2016, according to a filing by the company.
As part of her ethics agreement, Ms Chao said that by April 2018 she would take “a cash payout for all of my vested deferred stock units” from Vulcan, effectively ending her financial relationship with the company.
But a financial disclosure report released this month by her husband, Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who is the Senate majority leader, showed that Ms. Chao had somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of Vulcan stock. She owned this stock because in April 2018 Vulcan paid her for her stock options in the company’s stock instead of cash, the company said in a statement. Details of her continued ownership of Vulcan stock were reported on Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal.
Senator Graham for his encouragement to Donald Trump, Jr. to violate the law by ignoring the lawful subpoena of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Lindsey “Stonewall” Graham has since further engaged in witness tampering and obstruction of justice which should result in his expulsion from Congress and his disbarment as a lawyer.
