Normally in a situation like this you would indict and keep it sealed, that's not what happened here.

There was a deliberate decision not to indict which changed when Trump and his good friends Pompeo and Mattis came to power.

Yeah it seems that's true/I was wrong. I was reading george conway's twitter and I saw this tweet thread by a washingtonpost journalist `If this is the only subject to which the charges relate (& there are none on election interference or other topics), that’s notable. It also raises the question of what changed from when the Obama administration decided it couldn’t make a case, aside from political/DoJ leadership'
