What is the most logical time frame for a DOJ indictment of Donald Trump? [View all]
I do not think it is logical to believe the former president will be indicted by the DOJ so long as he is a front runner for the nomination of his Party. Of course, this does not prevent the states of New York or Georgia from indicting for various crimes.
Trump made sure his prosecution by the Feds would be political when he announced his run for the presidency before all the votes were counted in the last election. He sought shelter from the political system.
In my opinion, the DOJ cannot logically make a case against Trump until he loses the Republican primaries or, if he wins the nomination, he loses the General Election. Until then, the charges and the evidence will be gathered by DOJ and will be presented once Trump has been soundly defeated at the polls and the American people have spoken.
For those that argue that the American people do not have that much patience with the DOJ, they will have to be content with the work of Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis to keep him occupied in the interim.
The prosecution of Trump is unlike any this country has ever seen. In my opinion, it is wrong to say that the DOJ simply follows the law and not the politics of a case. In this instance, I do not think they have another choice.
It is going to take longer than many of us may have thought. The political environment will not be right until the people have declared Donald Trump a "loser" in the upcoming elections.
If patience is a virtue, then America will be a virtuous nation in about 2 years.
