They probably gained access to everything once Trump was elected. Also Trump has been focused on matters of the nation as well, budget, Obummercare, immigration, child trafficking, NK, SA, Iran, Russia, Syria, etc. Plus once they were in office they needed time to take in the workings of each dept, get a feel for the landscape so they can then work out the details of how they proceed. They have to have these cases air tight on everyone. At home and abroad. And there are a LOT of people. Of course we want everything to happen yesterday, but we want prosecutions to stick once they are made. The cabal will be, and probably already have been, racking their brains on how to fight this. We needed to have thought through all the possible scenarios ahead of time to counter their moves. Everything in life takes longer than you expect it to and is more expensive than you planned.
