<<the GJ determines if there is relevant evidence to present for prosecution or in this case consideration by Congress. >> These are two different things - the OIC determines if the issues should be presented to Congress, the GJ determines if a case should be prosecuted in court. <<the special prosecutor is not given the responsibility or charge of offering an opinion on the evidence further than providing it has merit for consideration.>> Interesting question - if you read Starr's response to Kendall's request for an early copy of the report, you will see his interpretation of the OIC law. It also includes parts of Kendall's interpretation, as presentation of both viewpoints was a necessary part of Starr rebutting Kendall's request. It seems to me that the fact that Starr is charged with making a presentation to Congress only if he believes that impeachable offenses may have been committed is, in itself, an opinion on the evidence.
