The Feds also have to think about the statute of limitations for any law they believed Trump, his family, or businesses committed. They are under so much scrutiny, especially from the IRS that I suspect they have a nothing burger. The College Admissions Scandal was discovered by the IRS. The ringleader created a fake charity so those who paid him off could deduct that from their taxes.

They can (may have) indict(ed) him now under seal and serve him when he leaves office, assuming no one challenges the ridiculous DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president.

That's one way to put it.
The other is that DOJ lawyers felt that gross negligence is a constitutionally vague charge and difficult/impossible to prove given the evidence.
I've read the Page transcript. It's quite amusing to compare what it actually says to the way some have tried to spin it.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updat...ry?id=61651630The FBI uncovered the $25 million nationwide college admissions cheating scandal by accident while agents were working an unrelated securities fraud case, two law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The Boston-based agents received a tip from someone connected to the securities fraud investigation about the alleged $400,000 bribe paid to the then-head women's soccer coach at Yale to fabricate athletic credentials, the sources said.
