    criminal charges

    Thats due process… we can argue about how long prosecution has taken given the overwhelming evidence for a trial, but I don’t think there’s much an arguement that the one with criminal charges wouldn’t want to do away with due process, he’s quite literally stated such.

      The excessive delay is my and many other people’s issue. It seems as if they’re hoping something else like his death or election will prevent them from having to set the precedent of a former president getting convicted of a crime. I would never recommend we forego due process.

        Its brain-numbing to think there’s people who think the criminal cases are “opinions getting in the way of politics” and disregard entirely the poltical process… while asserting their own opinions onto how the law should work. In a way I think that’s how trump has pushed the envelope so far, Im personally in disbelief that his case wasnt closed ehh maybe 2 years ago, especially in the optics of “being too close to the election”

        Anyway that’s my rant, I will go ahead and wish for politcal peace for the all of us
