    Man, it sure would be nice if the person who orchestrated all this would face some sort of repercussions

      There’s a theory that they’re working towards that. Convict the small fish while gathering evidence and establishing the truth. Maybe even get some to turn and inform. You don’t shoot at the king and miss.

        3.5 years just to indict the small fries, let alone convict before going after the big fish. Trump is going to be dead before consequences from Arizona land on him.

          Well yes, but also Arizona’s current attorney general was only sworn in at the beginning of last year after her predecessor wasn’t really interested in following up on this.

        Yeah, that argument may have worked 1 or 2 years ago, but the thing is that there is a deadline for nailing him. If he gets reelected then that ship has sailed.

          He won’t get reelected, period.

          Do people forget that he fucking lost the election while being a sitting president?

            While I sure hope you are right, I fear that he just might get reelected (by the EC, anyway).

          It took awhile to get Copone and that was just on taxes. These sorts of cases take awhile to build up even when they are going fast. luckily they tend to be exponential after awhile so we may see some speed up eventually.

        Seems like a problem when you can’t prosecute people for trying to steal an election within an election cycle. It seems absolutely batshit to me that they’re going to be allowed to participate in a democracy that they tried to overthrow. It’s one thing telling people to get out there and vote against them, but these treasonous fuckers cheated last time and they’re going to do it again.
