The most conventional explanation is that the DoJ is being very careful and thorough when it comes to investigations dealing either with the legislative or judicial branches.

A while back, they cut a deal with his sidekick. Then in July the doj agreed to recommend a postponement in his sentencing because he was still cooperating and they needed his help.

They also leaked that a charging decision would come in July, but that was before greenburgh somehow sweetened the pot.

But what they haven't done is leak that there will be no charges, or leak that there will be some major delay.

When you look at where all the rabbit holes are in this case, it's clear it must be a hell of a mess to document for a court. Pieces of it involve the very highest levels of gop fundraising in FL. It potentially involves dozens of lawmakers, both federal and state.

So the best explanation is they are working as fast as they can, but that it isn't baked yet.
