[quote=Anonymous]In over 400 pages of his report, at no point does Mueller assert that he could find probable cause to charge President Trump (or any of Trump's family members) with any crime.

That is the legal standard in America that governs all criminal prosecutions.  The prosecution must show that probable cause exists to believe the defendant committed the crime.  Probable cause is a very low level of evidence, it is just the minimum to bring criminal charges.  Even if there is probable cause, the defendant is still presumed innocent until proved guilty by a jury of 12, beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Mueller report doesn't come close to making a finding of probable cause as to a single alleged "crime" by President Trump.

There is no such standard of "we were unable to prove the President did NOT commit a crime" in American jurisprudence.  It is not a relevant statement by the Mueller team.   Similar is "we did not exonerate him".  That is an imaginary legal standard which simply does not exist.
