my theory is that everyone who cares to put 2 and 2 together can see that saazbaum was involved. not that they can prove he planned it but he was a driving force behind the conflict. however blaming saazbaum is politically bad while the peace is still shaky. by not accusing him or his allies publically and letting people blame slaine who was already the big bad as far as both sides were concerned they focus on peace instead of who still alive is responsible for what. what ue/asseylum are telling vers/the remaining orbital knights is "yeah we know what you did but we want to get along so as long as you don't do that shit again we're cool" while keeping it as blackmail material over them. years later when earth and vers are all friendly people may come around to saying "c'mon that saazbaum dude probably did it and slaine was just a follower who took over" but at that point no one's really going to care which dead bad guy did what.
personally i'm not a fan, i wanted everyone to get blamed for the exact things they actually did. but there's also how the actual truth wouldn't even make sense to anyone because slaine's actions are so all over the place. season 1 slaine isn't season 2 slaine, and season 2 slaine was on record doing or supporting things that would make him a hated enemy to both earth and vers. in the end he got his identity tangled up in all this crazy and there was no way to save his reputation. he can still get a new life under a new identity and live happily, unlike lelouch unless you're a fan of the cart driver theory.
