...and Trump is a "crook" An arrogant spoiled crook who thinks he is "above the law."

We will see in the long run. Indicting a former President of the U.S. is not easy and it is harder to convict..
.... But time will tell.

NY Attorney General Letitia James may be the answer. We will find out. Secure indictments take time.
If you indict, then you want to be sure that guilt is found by a jury. Getting that proof of guilt is not easy, and that
takes time. I would guess if James is going to indict, that all the pieces of the indictment must beyond dispute, and
conviction is extremely likely. That is why I think she is taking so much time.

But, I could be wrong, and we will find out in a few months.
