Nobody “suddenly woke up.”
Sigh.
It’s like people here have no experience with prosecutions. Maybe that’s good. I was involved in a simple dog bite case that took six months.
The truth is Sessions had these -—AND MANY OTHER CRIMINAL CASES-—building for months, was (according to all rumors) going to drop them tomorrow, then . . .
Awan got arrested & forced the whole schedule to be accelerated. NO CASE is just “started” and Sessions (as I have tried, unsuccessfully, to tell you) has been secretly building all these cases for months.
True, the investigations have been ongoing for months. I’ve been hearing from people I know in DC about various grand jury investigations since March. The point of the President’s tweetstorm was to get Sessions to focus on defending the Administration in the media and the public domain. It obviously worked.
But you are right. Sessions did not "suddenly" create these cases out of thin air due to Trump's tweets. I can't believe how gullible some people are. There are probably cases being developed that we will not even know about until a year or so from now.
No prosecutor or investigative agency is going to talk about prosecutions that are in the works and it takes weeks, months and even years to get to the point where indictments can be unsealed and made public. I was on a grand jury once and we were sworn to secrecy about the indictments we had to rule on.
