How many times do we have to go over this?
Convicted = responsible
Indicted = implicated
Investigation = crime was committed and we want to know if he was involved. It does not imply Trump was responsible. It was predicated on evidence of a crime being committed (no one denies that), that Trump benefitted from that crime (can be debated, but certainly cannot be denied) and that there is a basis to be concerned that Trump might have been involved (meeting, his own comments).
Only an idiot would argue that the US government, realizing their election was hacked by a foreign power, should not investigate.
Mueller's report did not exonerate Trump, it merely showed he was so stupid that he could not have coordinated this. Why do I say he was stupid? He brought the entire investigation on himself. He went on public TV asking Russia to commit a crime, hack the DNC, and then publish that for his benefit. That is the definition of stupidity. In addition his campaign officials were so stupid they had this very questionable meeting with the Russians, and by that time should have known that either the meeting was bogus or else the Russians were offering something that was obtained criminally. Top level officials were in this meeting and had it in Trump tower. Again, the definition of stupidity. They brought this investigation on themselves.
