They do not have the ability to prosecute - that is why it is up to the "JUST-US" Dept. of which they are affiliated to do the prosecution of any criminal prosecution.
The Investigators have found no criminal intention, therefore there are no criminal charges., at this time.
You cannot be pardoned for a non-crime !!
