AG Garland definitely cut him a lot of slack due to the optics of a newly-elected president prosecuting a former president and opponent. A prosecution of Individual #1 on the Stormy Daniels affair was a slam dunk and a strong case existed for obstruction in L'affaire Russe. Garland wanted to start out with a clean slate and not bog down the DOJ prosecuting an assclown like Trump with all the attendant distractions to a new administration, threats of violence, etc.

Then Dear Leader upset the apple cart by conspiring to defraud the United States resulting in a violent insurrection and stealing hundreds of our nation's top secrets and obstructing their recovery. The latter two cases are more than enough to keep DOJ busy without prosecuting the former cases, considering Trump's shenanigans also helped dump a thousand new criminal Jan. 6 defendants on their doorstep. Prosecutorial discretion, you know.
