Keep in mind, this is how you go after organized crime. Nobody knows the playbook better than Rudy.
Announcing that Obama/Biden aren't targets, immediately followed by 50+ subpoenas for their top lieutenants. That's strategic and it's a signal to Brennan. Leaking the suggestion that the DP is being considered, is another signal (though I have no idea if the claim about that "sources close to" leak is credible, that would be the point).
They did something similar with Trump. It just didn't work because he's clean. Remember for most of the Russia collusion nonsense investigation, Trump was "not a target"... And Trump was obviously the target.
Talking about the death penalty like it's going to happen is just as stupid as talking about Obama being charged like it was going to happen.
I'm not saying it's not deserved. But it'll never happen

I'm still curious why Barr brought no it back.
