IOW, if it had been an option, they could have done it. But the DoJ rules prohibited it.
So therefore (maybe) they had to ignore evidence that pointed directly to him committing a crime because it was irrelevant to the case about the campaign itself interfering. But apparently some of that evidence found its way into the report anyway.

of keeping politics out of it. It wasn't their job to politicize it, and it would have had a huge backlash anyway.
Unfortunately (and as expected), Giuliani et al are already politicizing it.

... and Mueller is currently saying he's not going to speak to congress.
