“Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen."
-- Donald Trump, trying to get Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and other Justice Department officials to go along with his illegal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. To their credit, Donahue and his colleagues did not comply.

Why this man is not in jail just gives me little faith in our justice system. It has been broke a longtime, but this is beyond even that.

The wheels of justice turn slowly. The American system has never had to prosecute a former president before. It should be no surprise that it is moving forward cautiously, with all due deliberation. Remember, if you take a shot at the dictator, you better damn well kill him. That being said, I think this takedown is going to be one comprised of a thousand cuts.

@Flyingsaucesir You have more faith in the system than I do.

@Barnie2years I'm only going by what I see happening. The justice system has got him by the balls, and is not letting go. There was a 5 million dollar judgement against him, then an $83 million judgement, and any day there will be one for probably $370 million. He's already had to pay over $50 million in legal fees. There are 11 congressmen and 3 Capitol police officers suing him for trauma and injuries inflicted on January 6. Each one of those could run into the tens or hundreds of millions. His legal costs are greatly exceeding his political fund raising. He will have to start selling off assets. And he will likely be locked out of his business. The Trump Organization is already in receivership. And there's a fraud suit coming over a ponzi scheme that Trump helped promote in New York. That's just the civil cases. The criminal cases are even higher stakes. The SCOTUS is hearing argument over presidential immunity next wee likely to rule soon after that he doesn't have it. And the DC J6 case will still be on track to go to trial in March or April, soon enough for there to he a verdict before the November election. He's likely to be found guilty there. That would sink his campaign. The slowness of this whole process may be a good thing. It gives time for the country to digest the news.

he has the benefit of having the other judicial system. The one that serves those with money.

@Flyingsaucesir
it has been an unacceptable amount of time. garland in particular has failed in his responsibilities.

@kmaz I would have liked to see the ball get rolling sooner too.
