Mueller ran the show, and did what he wanted.
I already gave you the reason for indictment. It was there for the world to see. And it was literally why Nixon was impeached....obstructing justice.
You don't care that Trump fired the guy investigating him, and then told us why. That's your view, and that's fine. But Nixon was kicked out for it. Pity our morals have degraded so much in such a short amount of time.
Oh, here's my entire post that you edited for some reason: It is your logic that is remiss. If they had uncovered any reason to indict, the Report would have specifically stated that reason but then obviously followed with the fact that they cannot indict a sitting POTUS due to legalities. Where in the Report does it state that?
And "for the record" since "guys like you" keep wanting to label me a Trump supporter, as mentioned many times on here, IMO, TRump should not be allowed to run again for POTUS and I'm praying someone else other than he will become the '24 nominee.
Ethical prosecutors are not supposed to ever accuse someone of a crime unless they are actually indicting them with the full belief that they will achieve a conviction.
So, the Report made clear that they could not indict but that such in no way meant that if this wasn’t a sitting POTUS they could not do so based on what they found, the most obvious of such was the obstruction of justice. And so the obstruction meant that Trump could not be required to be under oath, produce documents, communications, etc and was free to offer shelter to others, pardons etc so as to withhold testimony and evidence.

Yes, this is indeed a "special situation". Trump is the sitting POTUS so he can't be indicted (according to DOJ policy...not statute or constitution, just DOJ policy...talk about "protections"!! ) and thus, he is also neither to be considered guilty nor innocent of any potential allegation of a crime by the mere fact of not being indicted.
That Mueller et al felt it was important to say this, rather than to report that they had not found evidence of an otherwise indictable crime does indeed speak volumes, given that what they do report clearly indicates multiple otherwise chargeable offenses of at a minimum obstruction of justice. They detail these potentially chargeable offenses but do not accuse the sitting President nor indict him.
Complete bullsh!t. IF they had indictable evidence they would have done whatever was necessary to nail him and the Report would have screamed "lock him up!" based on that evidence. Claiming the DOJ statute applies to your position in this context is the epitome of specious. It's nothing but an advantageous excuse.
Trump refused to produce documents, refused to testify, and strong armed and bought the silence of others. That's indictable obstruction of justice for ANYONE...other than POTUS according to the dumb DOJ policy.
Mueller was a straight arrow, so refused to deviate from the policy.
Likewise, while there was lots and lots of 'collusion', ie communication with Russian agents, communication is not indictable unless conspiracy can be proven. And as no one flipped (promised pardons), no way to prove conspiracy.
