Are prosecutors dragging their feet on indicting Trump for trying to subvert the Georgia election? it's over a year since the crimes were committed. bringing charges should have taken days or weeks, not years. Even if the case fails, and the bastard stays out of prison, an attempt should be made to enforce the law in a reasonable time period.
i question if those responsible to assess bringing charges in this matter are deliberately dragging their feet. or maybe they think it's ok for this to be a case where the wheels of justuce turn slowly. it is not ok
trump's legal strategy is working for him. obfuscate and delay and paper over are key tactics for him. the 2022 congressional elections are only 11 months away, not to mention the 2024 presidential primaries.
could those involved in prosecuting the georgia crimes, if they are actually ingenuous in pursuing the matter (and i don't know if they are) please get their acts together and take concrete hard hitting competent action (more than has been done so far, and more swiftly)

Georgia DA investigating Trump closer to decision on charges
The Georgia prosecutor weighing whether Donald Trump and others committed crimes by trying to pressure state election officials said a decision on whether to bring charges could come as early as the first half of this year

As she has before, Willis said she won't be rushed or influenced by the intense public interest in this case.
"I just think the public should be patient – you know, go on, lead your lives – trust that they’ve elected a district attorney that knows that this is a serious issue, takes it seriously and we’re doing our job here,” she said.

I'm sure they want a solid case in all, but time is of the essence in these matters. Many things can change if more time passes. Fear is also a factor here. That's right. Fear. Many morons are afraid of Trump. He must be Mafia or have Russian friends. We will even do his Q tap dance because if he likes us we might be re-elected. Why else would you suppose that even now the current GOP has agreed to take on 1.6 million of Trump's personal debt? Fear. People are afraid of Donald Trump.

I hope the Justice Department has a strategy here, and that they are not just delaying due to ennui. This prosecution has to be aggressive and swift. I am beyond livid that it hasn't happened already, and that Dump has been allowed to roam freely, feeding lies to his minions like a mother bird feeds worms to her nestlings. Dems have a habit of talking too much, and acting not at all. They need to get it together!!!!!

I cannot say this enough……if Chump is allowed to escape responsibility, or these clowns like Bannon, Giuliani, Roger Stone, etc. then next time it will in all likelihood succeed…….because it came real close the first time.
Look what happened in Germany in 1923. And again in 1933. We need to learn from that. There isn’t any other choice left at this point.

Seems to be coming along, slowly. There will always be pitfalls in novel prosecutions like this one. My own hope is that the various prosecutions against him are being coordinated such that they will all be announced around the same time. Hopefully soon.

That fucker has never been held accountable for ANYTHING in his entire life. I don’t expect this to be any different....
@Buck His presidential indiscretions are so blatant that there is more to work with than ever before and I think these are opportunities that we can't afford not to capitalize on.
@LovinLarge Certainly you are correct, our democracy can’t afford not to capitalize on it. But we really haven’t seen anything done yet other than a couple subpoenas being issued to folks who aren’t gonna incriminate anyone anyhows....
I’ll be shocked if the orange ass ever sees a day in front of a judge!

Thanks for the link. I think it helps underscore the need for my post. For example:

Georgia Grand Jury Looms in Trump Inquiry
"....
Instead of impaneling a special grand jury, Ms. Willis could submit evidence to one of two grand juries currently sitting in Fulton County, a longtime Democratic stronghold that encompasses much of Atlanta. But the county has a vast backlog of more than 10,000 potential criminal cases that have yet to be considered by a grand jury — a result of logistical complications from the coronavirus pandemic and, Ms. Willis has argued, inaction by her predecessor, Paul Howard, whom she replaced in January.
"...By contrast, a special grand jury, which by Georgia statute would include 16 to 23 members, could focus solely on the potential case against Mr. Trump and his allies. Ms. Willis is likely to soon take the step, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deliberations, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the decision is not final. Though such a jury could issue subpoenas, Ms. Willis would need to return to a regular grand jury to seek criminal indictments...."
So, when the does all of this move along? It is now more than two months since this article and is there a special grand jury? Are we any closer to action? I think it's more-than-fair to start asking these questions more bluntly and frequently.
On a related matter, I urge that we not be naive in our hopes that the Supreme Court will allow for the Trump White House records to be reviewed by the Congressional committee. I do think it's possible the court will allow this, but the former President has already succeeded in badly delaying the handover of this information, and there is I think more than one justice on the court that was appointed with the idea in Trump's mind that those justices would be "loyal" when the time comes. He fought hard to bring the 2020 election to them, I think for that reason. So, it's possible they will rule on the merits, and show good judgment, but in my view, it's possible they will not.
If prosecutors file criminal charges,Trump gets a jury trial and conviction requires unanimity,
One Trumpist among the jurors could do what the Senate did after the House impeached him.
What are the alternatives to criminal charges? Did Al Capone go to prison for non-payment of taxes?

Jurors are checked for their willingness to engage in Jury Nullification and strongly warned against it; they can be charged with contempt, and alternates sit ready to replace those who try to fake the system out. (In a properly run courtroom).
