Didn’t he find no connections for Russiagate? Why is he so mad at him? Edit: I’m being sincere with this question. I didn’t think he had a beef with Mueller and forgot the original report was never made public.

You mistook William Barr's partisan "summary" for the conclusion of Mueller's investigation.

  The full, unredacted report has never been released to the general public. The Trump White House asserted a “protective” claim of executive privilege over the redacted portions and underlying materials, which helped prevent Congress from obtaining the fully unredacted report, though this did not block release of the already‑redacted public version. In other words, the criminals in charge prefer to work in the dark.

  Yes you are right. I forgot the original report never became public.

The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice. Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses. It absolutely said Trump was connected to Russiagate and very much broke the law, Mueller was forced to shut down the investigation.

We'll never know for sure, but the most likely scenario is that Trump did not collude with Russia, but also did not impede them or create any friction for them trying to get him elected. Russia wanted Trump to win, because they understood him as deeply destabilizing.

He referred his investigation to Congress because his boss (William Barr) said the DOJ cannot indict a sitting president.
