I think the delay is due to the fundamental problem that the DS has more power and political support within the federal government than the 0resident does. The president is still rather weak politically within Washington, without even the support of much more than half his own party, the other half being firmly DS...and half is a significant improvement from where he started.
He has significant, even tremendous, power within certain specific areas, like foreign and military policy and economic/regulatory policy. But remember this above all: TRUMP is NOT a disruptor, nor is that is intention. He is attempting to restore the nation, not overthrow it. He is not trying to create upheaval and chaos, which would doom his presidency, he wants to achieve his goals WHILE America prospers.
Taking out the former administration actors by arresting them would create great upheaval...riots would cause cities to burn...many deaths would occur...open civil strife would occur and probably for a time get out of control. That doesnt help Trump achieve his goals. He must move very deliberately and carefully in these things to not allow our opponents, the Democrats and DS, to take advantage and create open warfare in the streets...because that will hurt Trump more than them. Trump needs to keep things under control - thats what HIS job as president requires.
We may not see anything significant on releasing information or bringing bad actors to justice until after the midterms...at the earliest. I think he is working hard to increase the Republican majorities - in a midterm, thatd be a massive upset similar to his own election - and that will increase his political power in D.C. dramatically. And that would allow him to be able to begin taking action on this front with much stronger moves. I think this is where we are at, and we should realize that this is, of necessity, a Very Very Long game.
Most excellent post!
