The investigation began in 2009. The monetary value on which the $80Million is based on figures from 2015 & 2016. What does this have to do with Sessions?

Sessions is AJ.

Do you think Lynch would have done this?

They don't do criminal prosecutions very often because it is hard and expensive to convict.

Bill Clinton was the first prez to do it when he went after Tyson Chicken. In that case a couple of local plant managers were convicted but everybody at corporate level escaped.

GW Bush got convictions against IFCO Pallet company and a couple of smaller companies.

Usually they go with a civil prosecution because that is much easier and cheaper to convict. And, with a civil prosecution they can back off of the case if it isn't looking good and switch to administrative fines.

Usually the defendant will quickly agree to administrative fines because he doesn't have to admit to guilt and the administrative fines are less than the cost of hiring a lawyer.
