Also the report said that although they couldn’t prove that Trump obstructed, they couldn’t exonerate him.
Any 1st year law school student knows that NOT GUILTY IS NOT THE SAME AS INNOCENT.
The DOJ does not prove people innocent, only guilty or not guilty based on the evidence at hand.

Turner then asked if the special counsel could have powers greater than the Attorney General, which Mueller said they could not.
"Mr. Mueller, does the Attorney General have the power or authority to exonerate?" he said as he grabbed various books. "And what I'm putting up here is the United States code. This is where the Attorney General gets his power. And the constitution, and the annotated cases of these, which we've searched.
"We even went to your law school, because I went to Case Western but I thought maybe your law school teaches it differently, and we got the criminal law textbook from your law school."

Turner asked if Mueller thought Barr thought there was an "office of exoneration" in the Department of Justice, to which Mueller said, "that's not what I said."
Turner later pointed to a large, print out of a shot from CNN earlier Wednesday with a chyron that read, "MUELLER: TRUMP WAS NOT EXONERATED."
"What you know is that this can't say, 'Mueller exonerated Trump,' because you don't have the power or authority to exonerate Trump," Turner said. "You have no more power to declare him exonerated (or not, me) than you have the power to declare him Anderson Cooper."
