Mueller flatly stated that was false, that they simply had not made any determination. So, they do not know and cannot suppose that any crime was committed.

You are misreading "determination." Had they made a determination that a crime had been committed, they would have had to take action on it. But they couldn't take action on it because the rules would not so permit so they chose not to make a determination. The determination is the first step over the edge. They had to stop before that. So, not making a determination is SOP when the decision is to not go forward when otherwise one would.

I understand that in common parlance not being able to make a determination could be construed as not being sure if a crime was committed, not having enough information to decide. It suits you to interpret it that way but your interpretation, in context, is not likely.
