Actually that isn't true.

Mueller DID find Trump had committed crimes, but Mueller's undestanding was the he, Mueller, wasn't given the authority to charge Trump and his role was limited in scope, and left the charging up to Congress and Mueller specifically wrote that if the Special Counsel’s Office felt they could clear the president of wrongdoing, they would have done so.

The Mueller report details multiple episodes in which there is evidence that Trump obstructed justice. The pattern of conduct and the manner in which the President sought to impede the investigation - including through one-on-one meetings with senior officials.

Despite chants of “no collusion,” the Mueller's report shows a wide-ranging conspiracy (a/k/a collusion) aimed at undermining United States democracy and aiding Trump.
And it hasn't abated since his ouster.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
