19. Uncertainty distresses me bc the J6 committee already laid out the case to hang trmp.

And yet no filings.
These are relatively easy cases were they anyone else. Especially J6 and the documents cases. But, the lack of resolve to dive in has cost us, and Democracies globally. (Plus...you are condescending and nasty about it, as if you can say anything and 'get away with it.')
Pence is claiming the speech and debate defense, big whoop. We have mounds of other evidence. Sworn testimony from the Committee witnesses. VIDEO. And juries are hanging folks. (Figuratively) everyday. That IS Slam dunk. At some point you have to jump in. Intent has multiple ways of being proven. Direct testimony isn't the be-all. Go ahead and look that up. Or go to law school?
Justice delayed is justice denied. It's a legal maxim for a reason...bc it's true. And, it's destructive bc -among other things-it just possibly taints any jury pool unnecessarily.
Even if something were filed today, it may be years until a trial. Waiting til tomorrow just gives trmps folks more time to crowd source his defense. And cast unwarranted doubt. Why give him the statutory limits defense on top of it?
Of late, you act like Perry's phone is (yet another) linchpin. It's a gd phone. And there's the other phones he spoke with. Perry's phone is important, but, the evidence we have already is enough for a jury to reasonable conclude guilt. But without charges, it's always something else. Ad infinitum. (And trmp thinks he's clear to run again despite the 14th Am.'s limits on that after you assist, or try to overthrow our govt.) If they can't crack that phone by now, hows throwing more weeks at it strengthen the case? Move on.
Further, just like w trmps other charges in NY, they can be added to after the initial filings as things are uncovered. Filing the case stops the statute of limits. MG has failed us by and large imo, and jack smith is seemingly fast only bc he's being compared to zots produced by mg.
The J6 Committee warned the doj to be investigating while they worked. Looks like mg didn't do what an elected Congress asked, namely, BE READY TO GO WHEN WE WRAP UP.
Admit it, you don't know either. You speculate just as much as anyone else. Stop being so descriptively nasty to anyone who dares challenge your two plus years of assertions now. You don't know, and your guess is as good as any one elses. (Only, you reliably find a way to be nasty to anyone who dares disagree w you.) Your reflexivity of defending the non-action through charges, gets old imo. So does the vitriolic posts. (Cute, I suppose, for the garland enablers. Not so much for the rest of us.)
Better people than you or I are exasperated w the delay like Schiff, McCaskill, Cheney, and a host of others who aren't even elected. See Nicole Wallace, Barb McWade, Harry Litman, Neal Katyal, Glen Kirschner and others.
J6 laid out the prima facie chargeable cases. These cases could be described as languishing at this point.
Enough is enough.
Lastly, I'm not embarrassed by anything I say, and, I don't need opinion advice from you. Thanks.
