Keep the asshole from being arrested and allowing him to continue his antics as a coup coordinator. Time's up, charge the bastard and if his buddy wants to continue to talk, fine.

Witnesses lead to other suspects and other crimes. The Gaetz case could be part of something much larger. Or they could be negotiating with Gaetz for a plea in place of his testimony for something else. There are a million reasons why they might not be pursuing his case publicly right now.
