The Speaker of the Illinois House, Mike Madigan, a Democrat, was indicted for bribery and other charges in March, 2022. His trial is scheduled for May, 2024. If it is not delayed some more. That is over two years.

absolutely do. All the time. Hell, it can take 2 years just to get a divorce. Why some think criminal cases are investigated, indicted, charged and tried within a matter of months or a year is beyond me. Tells me not many actually know how their own judicial system works.

That is a fact. And most people would not be allowed to do that.

He is getting special treatment from day one due to his prior occupancy of the WH. The delay of his indictments. The begging for docs back for a year and a half.

It is not the same justice system for all.

$$ does the talking and deciding and delaying.

These same people adamantly oppose police reform. Although numbers don’t lie about how disproportionately black and brown people are stopped, arrested, maimed or killed by police. They don’t want to acknowledge that 2 tier justice system.

Has gotten more “due process” than this butthead. The prosecutors has walked on eggshells for everything. They have answered every stupid motion. Every blatant stall tactic. It’s been nuts. Anyone else that had boxes full of classified documents would have had our doors kicked down and been hogtied and hauled off to jail the day they got the warrant.

and only then realized he has a LOT of ammunition.

But I sincerely think that deep down, the American electorate ('for the most part' for the literal reader) really does want someone with integrity and wisdom more than we do a mean-spirited clown. And I hold onto that as a cold-comfort.

Sorry... but I do not wish to see TFG walk because of any technicality.

Is his behavior abhorrent, dangerous, and possibly illegal--YES.

But in no way, shape or form can any prosecutor anywhere do ANYTHING that puts his conviction in jeopardy.

The thoroughness of DOJ and others. I wish they would spend more time speaking about his threats to others - the way other people’s lives have been dislocated by his goons.

I couldn't wait for the election to be over so we'd never have to see or hear him again! Shows what I know...

And as offensive as he was back then, he's gotten progressively worse - and yet he's managed to attract a nationwide "following!" I really, really don't get it...
