I think the judge is stepping out of line on this one. I am not a fan of the methods commonly used by Federal law enforcement (including stall tactics), but judges do not have the discretion to break the law. The general law says that LEO can investigate and prosecute a "criminal" up until the statute of limitation on that crime runs out. A popular word bandied about since Trump got elected has been "obstruction," so the judge needs some caution.

Also I've noticed that many people seem to think that prosecuting the deep state individuals is a one-shot deal. It's not. You can prosecute for leaking to the press and then later prosecute for FARA violations. It is not a case of either/or. LEO does this all the time.
