be the defendant in a ciminal case.

I have.

Remember that "right to a speedy trial"? That applies to the prosecution. It doesn't apply to the defense. But it does mean that the prosecution must have iron-clad evidence ready to go when the perp is arrested. And in the case of a public figure, that applies exponentially. And in the case of a public figure who is likely to have armed supprters show up at the courthouse with pitchforks and torches, we are talking logarithmically.

Sure, it would be nice to know how the investigations are progressing. But nobody would love to have that information more than Trump** himself. I'm cool with him not getting it, even if that means I don't get it either.

This is not a game nor a TV show. It doesn't wrap up in an hour.
