    Hamstrung and yet here he is with 90+ indictments.

    The federal government generally prosecutes high-value cases slowly, so they make sure they have a case they can win.

    You not seeing things happening doesn’t mean things aren’t happening. The system is in motion and once begun it doesn’t stop.

      Hitler got arrested within 3 days of his coup attempt, and got a trial in 4 months time. He was in jail five months after his coup attempt.

      He was pardoned by his friends after spending just a year in jail.

      Getting Trump in jail is not the end of this story, it doesn’t fix everything. It would be a first step, and the US is still not there.

                Some of the people who actively participated in j6 are still facing trial, so… yes.
