“AG Sessions did something. He actually did something.”
He only did it now, because it was time sensitive - it could not wait. The main charges will likely be timed for maximal effect on the election - September and October.
For big fireworks just before the election, they have to plan backward a few months, to get a (Special?) Prosecutor assigned, staff up, impanel Grand Juries, get warrants and subpoenas, conduct raids and searches - make arrests, have trials and get convictions. They may have a few preliminary rounds of arrests and plea deals to flip witnesses that will take some time as well.
Sessions is the professional, and has all the inside info - this will be the biggest thing of his whole life, his place in history. He has to have an integrated plan. As discrete as he he famously has been with his prosecutorial strategies, the time for things to start coming into public view is inexorably getting closer.
Until now, none of the bad actors have had to pay any price. They could lull themselves into thinking they could still get away with it all. As they start to face real threats, they will start to unleash their worst counterfire.
The storm is coming...

No chance of that. Actually, it’s the opposite. The closer we get to the midterms the less likely anything will happen. Sleepy Sessions will never want to be beaten with a wet noodle and accused of producing a “partisan” October surprise.
That's sounds like a fantasy.
I believe it is against DOJ policy to play politics with investigations and indictments and especially timing such things before an election.
