In this country we are innocent until proven guilty.  It is the job of the DoJ in this case to determine if there was a crime and whether or not the defendant is guilty of the crime.  The report states that there was no crime (specifically obstruction of justice and/or obstruction of the investigation for Russian collusion).  If the crime was not committed there can be no way to prove the guilt of the defendant for said crime.

Mueller's comment stated that they didn't see enough evidence to say that President Trump is innocent of a crime.

Quote:“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that,” Mueller said Wednesday. “We did not determine whether the president did commit a crime.”

Mueller's comment goes against what the prosecution's job is.  It's not their job to prove a person's innocence, rather it's their job to prove a person's guilt.  Remember, this investigation was pretty specific regarding what it was about.  It was about collusion and obstruction of justice.  Neither was proven.  If he would have replaced the words "a crime" with "obstruction of justice" or "collusion" he would have also had to modify is statement to something like this.
