I would put my money on the presentation to the grand jury being the hinky part of this process.
Before Trumplethinskin, prosecutors were held to the standard that in addition to getting an indictment, they also had to be confident that they could get a conviction that would be upheld on appeal.
justice.gov - Jm principles federal prosecution
JM 9-27.220 sets forth the longstanding threshold requirement from the Principles of Federal Prosecution that a prosecutor may commence or recommend federal prosecution only if he/she believes that the person will more likely than not be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by an unbiased trier of fact and that the conviction will be upheld on appeal. I think that has effectively been thrown out like so much of the Constitution by the Pedophile in Chief and the complicit Congress.
