  No word on the attorney general who was hand-picked by democrats to sit with his thumbs up his ass for four years?

    He literally built a case and tried to prosecute. Trump and Trumps judge delayed the case. At no point was the trial delayed while they were ready to prosecute. There were thousands of people involved in the January 6th insurrection all of which had to be investigated because going after the most powerful person in the country is not something you do half cocked.

      If four years is not enough time, especially when we had years of material to work with beforehand, including two impeachments, then it was clearly never going to happen. This is the common strategy of doing things as slow as possible to show progress is being made, but it’s such small progress that it’s effectively at a standstill. It’s what democrats use to pretend they’re fighting for progress when in reality they’re just upholding the status quo until the next republican term. We’ve ping-ponged between republican and democratic party rule almost evenly, yet the country is becoming more and more fascist. There is a reason for that.

        What are your qualifications for estimating the amount of time it takes to investigate thousands of people and manage thousands of trials while building a case strong enough to convict a president that owns judges?

        Watergate took 3 1/2 years and it was orders of magnitude less complex. Cases of this scale involving political actors have always taken time.

    It helps if you follow the news at all. You’d know he was working the entire time.
