If you were going to draw up a list of the people most responsible for the latest indictment of Donald Trump, the former president himself would be at the top, followed by the prosecutors who have brought the case. Republicans in Congress perversely deserve a great deal of credit, too, since they could have exiled Trump from political life and perhaps spared him more intense legal scrutiny if they had voted to convict him in the impeachment trial over his role in the siege of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Ultimately, however, you cannot tell the story of Trump’s historic indictment without Nancy Pelosi. It was the then-Speaker of the House who insisted that there be a congressional inquiry following January 6. And it was the work of the select committee she fashioned that finally appears to have spurred a reluctant Justice Department to action, setting in motion a more intense phase of criminal scrutiny focused on Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The resulting indictment closely tracks the select committee’s work and findings, presenting a factual narrative that traces — almost identically — the evidence presented by the committee of a sophisticated, multipronged effort by Trump to remain in power that culminated in the mayhem at the U.S. Capitol.
I didnt notice it could read that way, im mad at the DoJ for keeping Trump free all these years
Hah, that makes sense! Agreed.
Takes time to build a case, especially against a former head of state
Watergate didnt take this long. You got any examples of head of state investigations taking this long?
To be fair there hasn’t been a head of state that has committed so many crimes either. They all have to be investigated, that takes time, and add in the fact his people are still running interference for him, I can see why.
It doesnt take this much time
With as much as he’s done and the interference being run? What source are you going by?
So if you wanna get away with crime just make sure you do a lot so they cant arrest you until everything has been investigated. Years and years and years as a free man.
But no for people not Trump it doesnt work that way.
