WTF Is Taking So Long To Indict Trump?

Let’s talk about Donald Trump. You know, that ignorant, pathologically-lying, pussy-grabbing, sexual abusing, anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, corrupt, massively investigated, soon-to-be-indicted, twice-impeached, election stealing, democracy-raping, dictator-wannabe sociopath. Or who Republicans call…’our guy for ’24!’

I’m sticking to my prediction…more so, my guarantee…that Trump will be indicted. But…what the fuck is taking so damn long? It’s been two years since the deadly January 6th insurrection. Even longer for the “I just want to find 11,780 votes” very not “perfect” Georgia phone call, his blatant tax evasion, financial fraud, emoluments violations, Stormy Daniels “hush-money” crimes. I mean, how long should it reasonably take to indict a former president who, remember, we couldn’t indict while he was a sitting president?

Whether it’s Attorney General Merrick Garland playing politics with his special counsel appointments or, as we’ve just learned in Elie Honig’s new book, Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away with It, the Southern District of NY having played politics with its decision not to purse a racketeering indictment, the nation’s justice system may not be living up to the long-standing rule that “no one is above the law”.
