The truth will not be exposed until...

...someone close to the "Putin Puppet" is sentenced to jail time.

Once the real fear of jail time is figured into the equation, we will then see the truth come out.

In the meantime, we can just twiddle our thumbs until that happens.

The guilty parties are riding the Trump train and they will try to hide and cover up everything until one of them goes to jail, in my opinion.

It looks like Bannon may be the first to tempt Lady Justice.

...and the ones that were not, were not close enough to lie for him. But, he no longer has the pardon power. They are now inside the circle.

and likely any Republican president will pardon insurrectionists. Sooner or later.

Unless the American people as a whole begin to grasp the ramifications of a totalitarian state. I'm hoping Putin's war will wake them up, but if nothing has done it so far...

The President of the United States committed multiple felonies. Now...what are we going to do about it? Our court system often goes to great lengths to hide the truth and protect wrongdoers.

They must find the evidence to prosecute. If they have the evidence and do not choose to prosecute, then that is a failure of our justice system and our elected officials of government.

Our courts and criminal justice system have never been very good at jailing rich, politically-connected people. From my perspective our society has three or four tiers of 'justice'.

But sometimes, the very wealthy are put in jail. It is very rare.
