    Because these things take forever to go through the courts and a major tactic Trump uses is delay delay delay. He constantly has his attorneys push for delaying any hearings. Then there are appeals which also delay, then bounce back to the other courts of various levels. It takes absolutely forever because he’s rich. If it were you or I we’d be sitting in prison and having a judgment within a month.

      Literally people on Jan 6th were already convicted and are out of prison. The jan 6th shaman was sentenced to 41 months in prison and was already released back in the summer… I can understand how the process take a long time, but when was trump arrested?

        We all have a gigantic issue with that fact. He’s wealthy and now a “politician” so he gets Special Treatment™ while the plebs get the hammer.

        The plebs also had a much more obvious case of some form of “breaking and entering” while the Mafia Don sits back and can say “it wasn’t me, all I said was: will someone rid me of this troublesome pence priest?”

          That is usually true, but the machine doesnt want him back in. Do you think its just by chance he has been fined about a half billion on two BS cases?
