It's a long list, how much time do we have?
seriously, you're arguing a negative as a positive. that's a logical fallacy, misleading and in this case a travesty of the American system of justice.
First and foremost, it appears "Mueller" himself didn't clear or not clear anyone of anything, as he seems to have been a figurehead for this whole ordeal.
Second, the special counsel's office was unable to even charge a single person with anything related to collusion or obstruction, and they were certainly free to do that without any Presidential protections.
So they were unable to bring any indictments at all against anyone for anything related to the reason for the investigation. Nada, nothing. Yet somehow we're to believe they HAD enough to prosecute Trump, they just couldn't. What's the logic behind that conclusion?
The answer to your question has been answered many times, you just don't like the answer. The answer is Trump was not "cleared" of anything b/c Prosecutors dont' "clear" people, they simply charge them or don't. Trump was not charged, but neither was anyone else, which is very telling.
There's simply no balance here. This was clearly a politically motivated move from the outset, as is everything in Washington by both parties, and despite their best efforts they found nothing really useful.
I doubt many Presidents could withstand the scrutiny Trump just did and not find something to pin on them for something. I was sure they'd expand to find out about tax stuff or business deals, but even that so far is coming up pretty empty.
This isn't being balanced. This is clinging to a belief in faith rather than accepting the empirical evidence available at this time. If Trump or his people did anything sleazy it apparently wasn't any more sleazy than what anyone else does and apparently wasn't a crime, b/c people willing to send armed SWAT in the middle of the night to arrest people for filing a mortgage document falsely aren't exactly being restrained in their prosecutorial zeal.
