It would be rather funny if America's justice system is so inefficient that one agency would have all of the evidence necessary for an investigation and another would fail to at least ask for it.

As with Clinton's denials, which are very passive and "I didn't know" or didn't question something, one can cover oneself very well by simply not offering anything or refusing to ask for something. Sins of omission are much harder to prosecute.
