Conspiracy crimes of those described in this post have a 5 year statute of limitations. Any 'conspiracy' committed before 4/22/21 will likely not be tried.

Not true.

If the conspiracy is ongoing, the statute of limitations begins when the crime is discoverd, not when it was committed.

Since the named individuals have been covering it up all this time, the tolling didn't begin until the documents were discovered and declassified.

If the conspiracy is ongoing, the statute of limitations begins when the crime is discovered, not when it was committed.

That's not my read on the statute. "...the statute of limitations is generally governed by the default federal rule found in 18 U.S.C. § 3282. Under this statute, the government must initiate prosecution within five years of the commission of the offense."
