By all accounts, convicting grand jury is super easy. They will stamp whatever prosecution wants. But, getting ready for actual court takes time and early arrest don't always matter

Grand juries don't convict. But yes, there's the old "I can indict a ham sandwich" line. Even so, the process still takes time, and even then, you don't get an indictment unless you think you've got a case you can win. What evidence does DOJ have at the moment?

Only the DOJ knows the answer to that.
I find indictments fascinating, in part, because they pull back the curtain on what is frequently an impressive investigation and body of evidence.
People don’t get arrested when they’ve done something bad. People get arrested (for federal crimes) when a prosecutor gets a grand jury to believe there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.
