“Why in the hell didn’t this stuff happen 2 years ago.”
I think it is because President Trump needs to win this war both legally and politically.
If he had won it legally, but not politically, then they would all have been locked up two years ago, only to be fully pardoned by the incoming Democrat administration.
Being “political prisoners“ would look great on their resumés, they would all become martyrs and folk heroes of the Left.
If Trump lost the political battle, the Republicans would end up the “bad guys” the “authoritarians” - found guilty in the “court of public opinion“ of abuse of power “worse than Watergate”.
He has to win both legally and politically for any of it to stick.
Maybe that is why it is taking so long.
Just a theory...

Also a lot of liberal judges have been replaced in the past two years. You want a judge that will not aquit.
It’s “taking so long” because the GOP is using the ongoing coup to hamstring POTUS and the MAGA agenda.
Substantive Congressional oversight in 2016-17 could have nipped much of the “resistance” in this in the bud. The questions is: why did the GOP not perform their Connotationally granted duties?
Obviously, the did not want the MAGA agenda to move forward and used the Mueller coup to hijack the “Trump” DOJ for two years.
