From what I understand is that Mueller report says first that he sent the report for the congress to decide on if the evidence was sufficient for a finding of obstruction. OKay, understand that. His reasoning for doing that seems convoluted or at least lawyer talk. He says he is following the DOJ directive that he can not indict a sitting president. So yo come to the conclusion that the evidence was sufficient to say the president was guilty of obstruction would put the president in the position of not being able to defend himself, as the only way the president could do so would be in a court of law and since the president can not be indicted, that is not open to the president. So it seems that Mueller left it up to the congress to make that decision, or in this case it seems the DOJ, who said a president could not ever be guilty of obstruction as he is the president. I think everyone was hoping that Mueller would be more forthcoming and either let Trump off the hook entirely or find him guilty.
