7. Because Trump didn't collude to get elected

Remember, we know he never wanted nor expected to win. He was engaging in criminal activity to get rich.

It just so happened that Russia made him win. But that wasn't what Trump was doing with the Russians, it was all financial corruption. So, given the narrow scope of Mueller's investigation (did Trump collude to fix the *election results*), the answer was "no".
