      Then why did the democrats not impeach him based on the Mueller Report?

      Hillary Clinton hired Christopher Steele to do oppo research against Trump, this became known as the Steele Dossier and contained a number of accusations on Trump. After the election the FBI started a serious investigation on if these accusations were true, and after two years the Mueller Report concluded that none of the serious allegations against Trump could be verified. This is why the Democrats (who had a majority in the house at that time) decided not to impeach, there was nothing there.

      Russia did try to influence the election, but this does not mean Trump was complicit, and no proof of this was found.

        The wording of the Mueller report wasn’t a slam dunk for Democrats to impeach with. There was no smoking gun, just that in all likelihood, Trump colluded with Russian agents in undermining the election. His children met directly with Russians to discuss manipulating voters, but Trump is Teflon Don and apparently was never in any of those meetings. We all believe him of course.
