1. That excuse doesn't explain why nobody else working for Trump was indicted for conspiracy or obstruction.
2. If that excuse was valid then why didn't Mueller say so in the report?
3. Why didnt Mueller even mention anything criminal by Trump or anyone that worked for him Instead of just implying guilt by association?.

Because it's pretty clear that the OCLC's opinion on indicting a sitting president is the only thing which kept Trump from being indicted. In answer to your sub questions
1. No one else appears to have committed obstruction. In fact, Trump was saved by several subordinates who refused to carry out actions which would have been obstruction.
2. Mueller essentially does say that. He cites the OCLC's opinion and says that it would be unfiar to recommend any charges without the possibility of a trial to either clear Trump or convict him. He explctly leaves open the possibility that Trump could face charges once he leaves office.

He was not trying to gather evidence to indict, he just gathered the evidence for others to judge, hopefully not based on fox news propaganda

So....you're telling me you read the entire report and are smart enough to decipher it? I don't buy that.
You know it's not over, right? The state of New York is going to get Trump.

Mueller said there was insufficient evidence to indict for criminal conspiracy.
For #2, Mueller *DID* say that in his report regarding obstruction. The OLC opinion against indicting a sitting president is exactly why he referred the matter to Congress, not to Barr.
You guys really haven't read any of the report, have you?
