An indictment implies that charges are being filed and therefore that the prosecution already thinks they can prove their case. If they can't even prove if there is an underlying crime, what are they supposed to be preventing? The entire problem is that they've set things up so they can charge people with something even if they can't prove the underlying crime, in order to exert undue leverage on them -- or even go all the way to conviction without ever proving the underlying crime, which is an injustice.
