I thought this was on a loop but when it finally hit I was totally caught off guard.
Do people think that having 4 criminal cases pending against you is meaningless? Like… This is accurate and prosecutions are moving forward. The fuck do you want? That’s how it works.
I assume it’s just the pace, but overall there’s plenty of reasons to be frustrated.
There’s already talk about how some of these cases might not be resolved until after the election, at which point, depending on how it goes, could be extremely problematic.
It feels frustrating because it’s mid-2023, and we may “run out of time” by end of 2024. People ask what the fuck was happening for 2.5 years? The reality of course is justice is not always, nor necessarily should be swift, and getting these investigations even started takes time to say nothing of collecting evidence and putting together a case. But also, 20 years ago even a single criminal indictment probably would have spelled the end of a Presidential campaign, and instead, Trump is successfully fundraising off of these charges and leading the polls.
It’s all just bonkers.
Yep. Its a slow process.
They are collecting evidence. Witness statements and such.
They are NOT rushing this. It would be a shitshow.
He stole from charities and comitted a plethora of other crimes, if the DOJ was doing their job, he should never have been in a position to campaign for president in the first place.
There are a lot of people in this thread who became legal experts by passing the Reddit bar exam, or something of equally imaginary significance.
Trump is gunna die of a heart attack the day before he gets convicted and no one is gunna know how to feel about it.
I know I would feel awful about.
Can you imagine the absolute torrent of psychotic conspiracy theories the MAGATS would spew until the end of time?
Yeah obviously.
But the day before he got convicted? 2 days after that, or hell, years ago, no complicated feelings at all.
I would feel like he somehow died to get out of being convicted lmao
Even if he gets convicted, I wouldn’t put it past a centrist Democrat to pardon him for unity or some bullshit.
They’ve been saying shit since he got elected. Like honestly, shit or get off the pot.
Well, you can’t arrest a sitting president, and Senate was majority Republican and they tow the party line so yeah most Democrats could do was impeach and let the Republicans bail him out
But now he’s not president, and has to face the courts as a citizen. The investigators aren’t going to rush a case like this, but you also can’t risk it going over to the election before getting a conviction. Honestly the timing on all this seems pretty on point
Criminal investigations take time under the best of circumstances. These are not the best of circumstances.
It’s not the investigators who are creating the hype, it’s the media. And the media does it because the think it sells. 'Effin BBC had live coverage of this dude arriving to his last court hearing, including his plane landing, wtf?! Who watches this shit in a country which has nothing to do with that idiot?
Murder investigations can take years to get the person responsible on for trial even when in hindsight the evidence makes it seem obvious who did it.
This isn’t a murder obviously but it is multiple messy messy cases with lots of moving delicate parts that as people who have never done a criminal investigation can’t even imagine. I wouldn’t want to rush into a case and end up bungling it because I didn’t take my time.
It will soon get to the point to where he’ll spend life in prison, if it isn’t already at that point.
