The policy wasn't ignored. There were two questions to be answered in the following order:
1) Is there sufficient evidence to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the President committed a crime?
2) Can a sitting president be indicted?
Since the answer to the first question was an unequivocal no, the second question was never even brought into play.
