UsernameHere@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhat 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?
I would respectfully argue that everybody knew that there was an election coming that Trump was going to run in, and there was a possibility of him winning it. And that should have dictated the timeline to bring charges. And if that meant more resources or bringing fewer charges, or whatever, that should have been the game plan.
If you believe he’s guilty, you don’t give him time to run out the clock
As the saying goes: You can’t produce a baby in 1 month by getting 9 women pregnant.
Oh that’s my bad. I didn’t realize only one lawyer could work on any aspect of a case at a time. I wasn’t aware that criminal cases were on a very strict timeline that cannot be impacted at all through resources or prosecutorial discretion on when to charge
Then stop trying to make the baby and find a better approach, because both inconvenient facts can be true, the things we tried take time, and time was of the most high of priorities… unless the goal wasn’t “making the baby”.

You don’t need to investigate thousands. You arrest Trump on Jan 7th and put him in jail without bail. Then you build your case.
On June 15, 1950, Greenglass was arrested by the FBI for espionage. He named Julius Rosenberg as a spy. On July 17, 1950, Julius was arrested on suspicion of espionage.
That’s one e month before arrest ON SUSPICION.
Execution on June 19, 1953.
It was three years from arrest to electric chair.
We have more evidence of Trump’s coup than we had evidence of Rosenberg’s spying.
