I'm not entirely sure what's holding up DOJ. It could be a combination of all the reasons PPs have laid out.

But I believe the main reason is that it's just unprecedented to level such serious charges at a former President. It's never been done before, and anytime lawyers need to set a precedent, there is immense inertia to fight against. Not only is there an ***extremely high evidentiary bar*** to clear in order to PROVE, beyond reasonable doubt, that Trump purposefully attempted to incite violence and obstruct an election despite knowing he had lost it, but there is also rank fear in the DOJ that if ever the White House falls into Republican hands again, these very same people will be harassed and perhaps even be held legally responsible for their investigative efforts.

We're fighting against strong currents here. The DOJ knows what it should do. It has probably started. But fear of potential retribution and fear of the unknown legal precedent are combining to move this investigation at a glacial pace.
