It's not any more suspicious than announcing it 3 months earlier or 3 months later.

There is no right "non-suspicious" timing for this type of scrutiny.

And yet the article says:

"Attorney General William P. Barr, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, has played an unusually active role in the investigation. He pushed career Justice Department attorneys to bring the case by the end of September, prompting pushback from lawyers who wanted more time and complained of political influence. Mr. Barr has spoken publicly about the inquiry for months and set tight deadlines for the prosecutors leading the effort."
