How does one settle with aides being fired, for reporting potential criminal activity, yet, no criminal charges? Why settle? Doesn't that point to a guilty state or mind?

It's two separate issues.

First issue is that several on his staff, including some very high-ranking people, filed a complaint that he was using his office to do legal favors for a friend/campaign donor.

Second issue is that he fired those people for squealing on him. You can't really do that because even Texas has whistle-blower laws, and it was retaliation.

This settles issue 2, and said attorneys go on their way pulling in 6 figure salaries in private practice.
