In terms of priorities, how much time do you think it would take to investigate and indict a perjury charge?
Why I think those became the last minute compromise. They were originally looking into more serious charges but hit the SOL wall which was why the original appointee balked, since it would be futile. He couldn't find a work around absent espionage charges and those are weaker.
So the perjury and obstruction charges were the fall back position. Does that mean Bondi didn't mishandle the case? No it does not. If anything she should have had two or more teams working on different charges in a parallel manner to present options then pick the best ones to present to the grand jury.
OTOH, Patel and Bongino had to get in there to find where the evidence had been hidden first. So they were behind the 8 ball from the get go.

IANAL
I still believe the criminals should be brought to trial even after the SOL. Then if proven guilty in a court of law the Judge just says you have been found guilty and all charges dropped because the SOL has passed.
I know this will never happen but I still feel this way.
We really need to rewrite our laws concerning libel and slander.
