    If the legal system cannot hold Trump accountable before hes able to get elected president and make these investigations stop then the legal system doesn’t work. A system that cannot protect itself from the people it’s supposed to punish is fundamentally broken, and that’s looking like where we are. Cling to the broken system and you should expect broken results.

        We are nowhere near rushing it, its been three years. We are actively slow walking, all we need to do it treat him like we treat people without wealth, but we cannot. There’s a massive amount of space between ‘rushing it’ and what we are doing right now.

          Imagine if they miss just one little thing and he gets off on a technicality. He would absolutely escalate the dictatorship bs and justify it all by pointing to his non conviction or a successful appeal.

          You say it is being actively slow walked. Based on what? Cannon is slow walking the FL documents case, but Jack Smith is running a “speedy trial” in DC. So is Willis in GA. Trump’s NY fraud case is finishing up after a pretty standard length trial given the amount of info that needed to be presented.

          If these are intentionally slow trials, then what should the timelines have been instead?
