I'm about to become wildly unpopular ...

157. If Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg (Manhattan DA) And Laticia James...

Are making sure to dot their i's and cross their t's multiple times over before charging Hair Gropin' Führer, I suspect that Garland and the DOJ are probably doing that to the nth degree before they'd charge him. It goes without saying that charging Dolt45 at the federal level is fraught with issues - not to mention a politically charged precedent. Today's GOPQ would take any minor issue and come back on a Democratic president with a vengeance (look at what Gingrich and company did to Clinton as revenge for Nixon). I'd be willing to bet, that IF it's at all possible, Garland would prefer to see Agent Orange dealt with at the state level, just due to the politics involved.

I'm not saying that Tangerine Idi Amin shouldn't be prosecuted for seditious conspiracy, obstruction of Congress, obstruction of an official act of Congress, obstruction of justice, witness tampering/intimidation, and all the various, sundry and sordid crimes he committed - he definitely should (in my humble opinion)! What I am saying is that, to use the CIA term and borrow from Rumsfeld, there's a whole lot of known blowback that WILL happen, known-unknown blowback, and unknown-unknown blowback that can/will occur with a federal prosecution (and/or conviction). That unknown blowback probably weighs more on them than the known. Is it excusable? I don't know. It will take better minds than mine to second guess a decision not to prosecute.
