CNN is reporting that the DOJ high ranking officials have been pushing hard to charge John Bolton by this week, but prosecutors working the case feel they could bring a stronger case by the end of the year.

Senior Justice Department leaders are advocating for a charge against President Donald Trump’s former adviser-turned-critic John Bolton this week, according to two sources familiar with the investigation.

Currently, the prosecutors think they could bring a stronger case by the end of the year against Bolton over the mishandling of national security documents, rather than pushing for a charge at this time.

An attorney from the deputy attorney general’s office has been pressing the Maryland US attorney’s office this week to charge Bolton on or before Friday, according to the sources.

But prosecutors from the office and a top national security prosecutor from the Justice Department in Washington, DC, have pushed back on what they see as a too-aggressive timeline for a case to come together. One Justice Department official was considering pulling prosecutors off the case out of opposition to the deputy attorney general’s instruction this week.

Investigators previously collected many records from his home and office, some marked as classified, and they may need to take additional steps examining the evidence and interviewing witnesses before a case could be charged, the source told CNN.

I would say the stronger the case the better, unless people are intentionally dragging their feet. Since this administration isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, I wouldn’t think the latter to be the issue. So why not wait? Why does there have to be such a hurry?
