No, that's not why Mueller was appointed, and you don't get to re-write history:

The appointment of Mueller — who is widely respected on both sides of the aisle -- comes after a growing outcry, mostly from Democrats, amid fallout of President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey last week. While the White House initially insisted the dismissal was precipitated by Comey's mishandling of the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's emails — outlined by Rosenstein in a memo — Trump later told NBC's Lester Holt that the Russia investigation factored into his decision.

Now, you can make the point that the appointment of Meuller was specifically to continue the investigation over Russian collusion, but then you'd need to also concede that Mueller's probe didn't find any evidence of collusion. And no one really expected them to, because they were looking in the wrong place.

He fired Comey due to Crossfire Hurricane which was initiated due to the coffee-boy claims in a London wine bar. The Mueller Report most definitely did not say that he did not find any evidence of collusion, no matter how many times you spew that same lie. Indeed he found that both Manafort and Stone collaborated with Russian agents and that obstruction by both of them (with promises of a presidential pardon which Trump subsequently delivered) and Trump himself prevented Mueller from finding further evidence of collusion than he did.

You continue to spew the same bullshit that Barr recently got castigated for by 4 federal judges. It’s clear that Trump didn’t lead a conspiracy with Russia. He’s too lazy and stupid. But his campaign staff did coordinate with Russians and they (and Trump) obstructed the (otherwise successful) investigation into it.
