    Alternativelly, some higher-up got pressure via some politician after talking to some lobbyist or golf-buddy, to "do something", and some lower-down who got the hot potato covered their ass by finding something they could do, all of which quite independently of any strategical considerations.

    If one doesn't assume the Justice System aims be Just, a lot of things become easilly explained without the needed to find some kind of Master Strategy Beyond Our Comprehension to explain them.
