Nixon was pardoned before he was ever indicted--2 years and nearly 3 months after Watergate. And we have no idea if he ever would have been indicted, never mind put on trial.
And people are complaining about 2 years? After DOJ got slammed with hundreds of unexpected cases in the wake of J6, never mind how the federal system was already backlogged even more than usual from the pandemic?
I'm with the idea that people are expecting TV show results with a process that has always crawled along at a snails pace. I was looking at a minimum of two years for my 1980s case with the DOJ, despite how the local yokel cops had jacked up the perps less than an hour after I banged on that farmhouse door for help.
