Why? The DOJ has mostly dropped the ball and/or been stymied in doing anything about blatant lawbreaking. The NYAG was the one who actually did something, and they only had jurisdiction on a relatively minor crime.

He should be happy Merrick Garland just jerked off for two years and Jack Smith didn’t want to impugn the justice system by saying Eileen Cannon wasn’t going to be a fair judge.
