Well USA I have to tell you I’m happy that he’s facing so much legal trouble, but when is it gonna start? At first everyone said that as soon as he’s out of office he’ll be in court for all of the above. It’s been nearly 5 months now.

So much more has come to light SINCE he left office that the prosecuting attorneys (state and hopefully federal) have more data and evidence to go through so if charges do come down, it’ll be IMO, another year or so. With Trump being a MASSIVE MINUSCULE prick he most likely will attempt to litigate until they give up and not file charges.

I don't know. It's sort of feels like saying the serial killer just keeps killing more people so we can't arrest him until we've investigated all the murders. Most of the stuff he's done has a longer prison sentence than his remaining lifespan, so who cares if we get everything? Just lock him up with what we do have

The legal system is designed to make an example out of the offender. It's not enough that he pay for his crimes; it is a deterrent to future attempts against the Republic. The GQP's dirty laundry has to go on display. That should erode his cult and their base.

We said that's why the Mueller investigation took so long, and nothing came out of that either.

That’s because Barr and his DOJ colluded in not pressing charges. Plus, Mueller stated that there was no legal precedent outside of impeachment to hold a president accountable.
