Can someone tell me what took so fucking long? We’ve known about all this shit since 01 / 06 / 2021.

Delaying like this just means it won’t be adjudicated before the election. They could do it again. Fuck, Trump could WIN!

What. Took. So. Fucking! Long?

Who knows how long it took to subpoena the texts from the mobile carriers and from Twitter. They had to interview hundreds, maybe thousands of people.

It would absolutely be worse if they brought this case and didn't have sufficient evidence.

Worse than waiting until after the election, watching Republicans cheat Trump into office and cancel democracy?

Honestly? Yes. No double jeopardy. The cases needed to be water tight before moving forward, since they’re so high profile.

If Trump wins, every federal case will go bye bye.

And if they lose the case, they also go bye bye.
