There's an old adage that you don't shoot at the king unless you know you can take him out. Trump doesn't leave a paper trail because he doesn't use email; also, as Michael Cohen pointed out, he talks in a kind of code, like the mobster he really is. This makes establishing his intent difficult. Mueller wouldn't present evidence to a grand jury unless it's just about bullet-proof, which that isn't. Same with Don Jr. - all we know about his involvement in the Russia matter is the Trump Tower meeting with Veselnitskaya, etc., which was as dodgy as hell but might not have actually violated a statute, or at least there might not be enough proof of it. There could have been a campaign finance violation if the Russian cooperation was a "thing of value," which isn't clear. if he knew that the Russians were engaged in hacking and that the information he was seeking was obtained by these means, he could have violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. But without hard evidence of these possible crimes, Mueller might not have felt he could have gotten an indictment.
OR - Maybe Mueller has spun off at least some of these charges to other prosecutors, who have yet to issue indictments. Don Jr. apparently lied to Congress, and they want to re-interview him so he could be charged with that. Point is, the fat lady hasn't sung yet.
