  Criminal investigations take time under the best of circumstances. These are not the best of circumstances.

    It’s not the investigators who are creating the hype, it’s the media. And the media does it because the think it sells. 'Effin BBC had live coverage of this dude arriving to his last court hearing, including his plane landing, wtf?! Who watches this shit in a country which has nothing to do with that idiot?

  real life isn’t Suits where charges are brought and a week later you are in a court.

  also Suits had less fascism than thebUS has currently

  Murder investigations can take years to get the person responsible on for trial even when in hindsight the evidence makes it seem obvious who did it.

  This is multiple messy messy cases with lots of moving delicate parts that as people who have never done a criminal investigation can’t even imagine. I wouldn’t want to rush into a case and end up bungling it because I didn’t take my time.

  Well, you can’t arrest a sitting president, and Senate was majority Republican and they tow the party line so yeah most Democrats could do was impeach and let the Republicans bail him out

  But now he’s not president, and has to face the courts as a citizen. The investigators aren’t going to rush a case like this, but you also can’t risk it going over to the election before getting a conviction. Honestly the timing on all this seems pretty on point
