I’m not even trying to keep up anymore.
Maybe if indictments actually happen and heads start to roll I’ll wake up and rejoice.
This was posted by LS on another thread and it bears repeating here. We are all anxious to see someone, anyone prosecuted for the crimes revealed daily, justice moves too slowly for most of us. LS very articulately addresses this:
“I will try for the millionth time to explain why, in the USA, we dont just put people in legirons cuz some people want it.
Notice that neither Flynn, nor Manafort, nor Papadickless, all of whom have negotiated pleas or been charged, are in jail. This has been months. Not saying any SHOULD be. Im saying, if you want instant arrests, here you have three people charged, two pleaded out, and none of them are in jail.
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, while in jail, has not even been brought to trial yet.
We have a thing called due process, and IF you want a conviction and people in jail, the very first step is that you do NOT arrest them until you are 100% sure you can convict them.
And that is what a regular old Highway Patrol, or local prosecutor would tell you.
Now multiply that by a billion by those in DC and the media who will fight this process tooth and nail, who will obstruct, attack, and do everything in their power to make sure no convictions happen. Now you have an even higher bar: you have to have such an airtight case that DESPITE their efforts you can get convictions.
Gotti took five years from initial wiretap to jury trial. Hanssen took two years from were sure hes a spy to arrest. Two years.
The reason they ALL are so focused on more investigations and more facts is that once you move its over. You either get a conviction on ALL or all of them walk. You only get once chance. And no, the Republic will not be going anywhere.”
