I'm just pointing out that in a lot of you there was just this assumption that this had to be true. I'm trying to encourage people to be more skeptical of received media wisdom. Lots of these guys have no idea at all.
The quote from the report (which no one outside of the US justice department has seen) explicitly states that the report does not exonerate Trump, but you crack on being non triumphant.

Mueller 'unable to reach judgement' that Trump did not commit crime
In his introduction to the second part of his report, on obstruction of justice, Robert Mueller goes much further than attorney general Bill Barr has suggested and points to serious wrongdoing on Trump’s part that could amount to criminal activity.
Mueller states that had his team concluded that the president had committed no crime, they would have said so. Instead, Mueller writes:
“Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
There’s more trouble for Trump in the next sentence. Mueller alludes to having found “evidence about the president’s actions and intent” that “prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred”. Mueller adds:
“Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
This report allegedly containing "TOTAL AND COMPLETE EXONERATION" of the president describes the law of impeachment 10 times, largely (but not exclusively) in footnotes.

Trump complained that he was unable to push back on the claims made by his aides in Mueller’s report because of his decision not to sit down with Mueller in person.
