Federal grand juries return incitements over 99% of the time. A judge once said that a prosecutor could get a jury to indite a ham sandwich (this is just barely an exaggeration). Good old Bob has a vested interest in serving his team mates (the cops) and letting this one slide by. That's why he presented all the evidence (pretty much unheard of for a grand jury) instead of presenting his best case that a crime was committed and should go to trial (normal order for a grand jury).
