From the article:

The investigations are all a sham designed to provide cover for the guilty parties so that, if nothing else, the statute of limitations will run out before anyone is charged...

Precisely my thought for some time now.

It would be instructive to see a list of charges, the date the crime was committed and the date the statute of limitations expires. Anybody??

...the date the statute of limitations expires.

I believe there is no statute of limitation on treason, capital murder, terrorism and crimes against children. Hard to prove treason w/o witnesses, though. However, that caveat was written back in a time without emails, security cams, telephonic surveillance and ubiquitous moles.

Otherwise, 5-10 years. However, defendant must invoke before being charged. (IIRC)Judge can invoke a limitation if defendant does not.

I believe financial fraud (against Fed Gov and over $1M) does have a 10-year limitation.
