4. I hear you. Unfortunately, the explosion of crime outpaced the personnel appointment and funding delays.

When Republicans are the minority they've always tried to squeeze federal law enforcement and just do investigative nothingburger drama in Congress.

Everything Biden's cabinet did it had to wait to do. He and the WH hit the ground running, but not the rest of his branch until nominees were confirmed, which for the DOJ took almost a year.

There's substantial evidence which might/might not rise to the level that qualifies for indictment, and then there's preponderance of evidence that goes beyond reasonable doubt. And then there's always the due process beyond "sufficient" level that can delay court cases before and during trials as they go up the appeal ladder, no matter how preponderant the evidence is.
