I agree that I have faith, but I do undeerstand it's tough to han on. There are multiple reasons for that One, I suspect, is that technology had made so many things so much faster that we expect justice to be that much faster also. That isn't realistic.

However, another is that Trump** walking around loose is exponentially more dangerous than Nixon walking around loose. Nixon was only trying to corrput his party and his administration. He was surrounded by people (including in his own party) who were not going to let that happenany more than it already had. Trump** is attempting to corrupt enough oeople outside of politics and goc=vernment to start a bloody Civil War II. He is surrounded by people who are only too willing to help him do that. So I deeply sympathize with those who are impatient.

I also worry that this case is a bit like one of those baked souffles that if you open the oven too soon to peek at it, it collapses.
