concluded that the special counsel’s evidence was “not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”

Neither did Mueller say that the evidence was "sufficient". Mueller left it up to the DOJ to conclude if it was, and both Barr and Rosenstein (not a Trump partisan) concluded that it was not.

only congress can deem high crimes and misdemeanors

Only Congress can impeach a President. The Mueller investigation did not have the authority to impeach. It determined if there was sufficient evidence to indict on criminal charges. Sufficient evidence was not found. Congress can impeach regardless of what the investigation found or didn't find. Your mixing apples and oranges.

Attorney General William Barr meanwhile said he believes US authorities did spy on the Trump campaign.

He did not provide evidence for his claims. see that a ot with this administration

Why should he? That was not a venue for an investigation. Are you saying that he should have started the investigation right then and there while he was supposed to be testifying on funding?

then this Attorney General Bill Barr told Congress he's looking into the origins of the Russia investigation. He told members he has no evidence of wrongdoing but some "unanswered questions."

Isn't that exactly how the Mueller investigation began? We were told from the beginning that there was no evidence of Trump conspiring with Russia. But there were allegations that needed to be investigated.

they need to make up their minds
I suppose an investigation will help "them" to make up their minds. Apparently, you have made up your mind before the investigation happens and concludes. See that a lot with you.
