16. "And we could/would of been 6 months to a year or more, possible, farther down this road"

The timeline I posted WAS during that "6 months to a year or more" timeframe that you cite. Literally starting right after he was sworn in. As it was, there were months of time wasted in court arguing about some kind of "Executive Privilege" that didn't exist.

But guaranteed that a "delay" would have been there for all that time.

The proof?

Note that Fani Willis was elected to D.A. in Fulton County GA in November of 2020 and assumed office Jan. 1, 2021. After the phone call to Raffesperger was revealed, she started her investigation in February 2021 -

In Georgia, a New District Attorney Starts Circling Trump and His Allies


By Danny Hakim and Richard Fausset

Published Feb. 13, 2021 | Updated July 6, 2022



After six weeks as a district attorney, Fani T. Willis is taking on a former president. And not just that. In an interview about her newly announced criminal investigation into election interference in Georgia, Ms. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, made it clear that the scope of her inquiry would encompass the pressure campaign on state officials by former President Donald J. Trump as well as the activities of his allies.

“An investigation is like an onion,” she said. “You never know. You pull something back, and then you find something else.” She added, “Anything that is relevant to attempts to interfere with the Georgia election will be subject to review.”

Ms. Willis, whose jurisdiction encompasses much of Atlanta, has suddenly become a new player in the post-presidency of Mr. Trump. She will decide whether to bring criminal charges over Mr. Trump’s phone call to Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to “find” votes to erase the former president’s loss there, and other efforts by Trump allies to overturn the election results. The severity of the legal threat to Mr. Trump is not yet clear, but Ms. Willis has started laying out some details about the inquiry.

She and her office have indicated that the investigation will include Senator Lindsey Graham’s phone call to Mr. Raffensperger in November about mail-in ballots; the abrupt removal last month of Byung J. Pak, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, who earned Mr. Trump’s enmity for not advancing his debunked assertions about election fraud; and the false claims that Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, made before state legislative committees.

She and her staff began interviews through 2021 and then she had a special grand jury empaneled in early 2022, hauling people in throughout the rest of that year until they finished their report. A regular grand jury was then empaneled in 2023 to bring charges. And with that, she got indictments for 19 defendants including 45 in August 2023.

So where is that case now?

DELAYED.

It was started Feb. 10, 2021.

The only ones to nail his ass (not including E. Jean Carroll) were his hometown/home state prosecutors - Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and NY AG Letitia James.
