The report said that they had insufficient evidence to prove Trump's involvement in the scheme in part due to obstruction (10 counts, 4 of which were slam dunks), perjury and unwillingness to cooperate with the investigation. They did clearly show, however, that Manafort, Gates and Stone all collaborated/coordinated with Russian agents and that Trump welcomed Russian help and likely benefited from it. The GOP-controlled Select Committee on Intelligence said the same thing.
