> After reading the article i think the reason behind it is just sad. The inmate kept insisting that someone else committed the murder, that generally is a big "No no" and an admission of guilt for a crime a person has been sentenced to is Step One. That is generally one of the basic requirements to be granted parole anywhere (Not even US specific) that there is admission of guilt --> Regret --> Work towards becoming a better person. A terrible trap if she is innocent, but in the eyes of the law she isnt and thats what the parole board has to go with.

> The call is not enough without a preponderance of evidence attesting to Trump's mental state at the time Evidence of Trump's mental state? Like wtf? There's no reason to suspect Trump wasn't of sound mind when he made that call, why would the prosecution need to gather evidence regarding his mental state? All the evidence prosecution needed are right there in that phone call. Especially when paired with all the publicly avaliable Trump's unproven claims of stolen elections - as if the context of a incumbent struggling for a second term and abusing his presudential position to influence election officials wasn't enough already. On top of all that, any further evidence they might have needed could've easily been gathered in the past two years. So either we're gonna keep making excuses why an attempt to overturn American democracy has gone unpunished, or it's time to finally face the fact that Trump is above the law, and unless the American public actively demands justice, nothings going to be done, and Trump won't live to see the inside of a courthouse, much less a conviction.

> All the evidence prosecution needed are right there in that phone call. Where did you go to law school? The Georgia law re: criminal solicitation of election fraud requires proof of intent. It is the prosecution's burden of proof to demonstrate that Trump meant "feloniously fabricate 11,780 votes that don't exist," when technically his words said "my sources tell me that thousands of my votes were illegally discarded and thousands of Biden votes were illegally created, so I need you to investigate until you find enough of these fraudulent votes, at least 11,780, to show that the election was stolen from me." Of course we all know what he really meant. But the law is very literal, and the prosecution is required to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he meant something different from what he said. If anyone on that jury suspects that Trump really believed there was ballot-stuffing in Georgia, then the prosecution fails to prove criminal intent, and therefore he cannot be convicted of solicitation of election fraud. I wouldn't want to be the prosecutor who has to prove Donald J. Trump didn't believe a conspiracy theory that served his ego. On top of all that, any further evidence they might have needed could've easily been gathered in the past two years. And that is exactly what they have been doing. There have been grand juries examining evidence, gathering testimony and communications records from various election officials, lawmakers, people in Trump's orbit, etc., and, considering the timing of their recent conclusion, I presume they have also been examining the House Committee hearings, which make the strongest case so far that Trump knew he lost Georgia. I believe they are also looking at crimes beyond the phone call, related to fraud, intimidation, etc. we're gonna keep making excuses Nobody is making excuses to not prosecute Trump. I am explaining the legal steps they have been taking to prosecute him. Everything Georgia has been doing signals that they are serious about building a strong case to prosecute Trump and, probably, others in his orbit. You don't impanel grand juries and subpoena congressmen and presidential advisors just for funsies. Note that I'm not saying they definitely will indict, and I'm not saying "the walls are closing in, it's really gonna happen this time." There is still a possibility that that the Grand Jury has concluded "it's obvious Trump is guilty as fuck, but the evidence is ambiguous/circumstantial enough that it may not be possible to secure a conviction under the law as it is written. Given what we know, and what legal scholars have argued in various articles, I think it's more likely they will move forward with indictments. Apparently under Georgia law, the next step is to impanel another Grand Jury with indictment powers. I don't know how long that process takes. Again, I'm not saying that Georgia will definitely indict: I don't have enough information to make this claim. But I am saying that they have done everything possible to get this case to third base with the bases loaded and a strong hitter at bat, so suggesting they are not serious about trying to hold Trump accountable is verifiably incorrect.

> why did you suddenly switch from taking about Trump's 'mental state' to discussing his intent? These are both the same thing. A defendant's "mental state" is a legal term for establishing (among other things), whether the defendant had criminal intent. In this case, it is crucial for the prosecution to prove that Trump's state of mind, at the time of the phone call, was the felonious intention to willfully solicit a fabricated vote count. Jan 6th commite has also conducted an investigation into a much more complicated matter. It resulted in a criminal referral. Two years after the fact. So I think my comment still stands, Trump won't live to see the inside of a courtroom. The DOJ, the House Committee, and the Georgia AG have been working overtime for 2 years to gather a preponderance of evidence that Trump (and his cronies) behaved criminally in various ways. The House Committee has reached a conclusion that Trump could be charged with at least 4 crimes, and has released all their evidence. The Georgia grand jury has reached a conclusion that has not yet been released, but I think it's likely it has gathered enough to justify criminal state level indictments. I'm not going to say that indictments are definitely imminent, but the conclusions of these two major investigations suggest that we are significantly closer to, not farther from, the likelihood of seeing Trump in a courtroom.

That's my mistake then, you were using such a broad term, I had no idea you wers referring to actual intent. I really didn't expect anyone would quest Trump's intent considering its blatantly obvious from the contents of his phone call, especially in the context of all his public statements regarding unbased claims of stolen elections. With so many evidence avaliable it certainly doesn't seem like a case that would require over two years of evidence gathering without even an indicement, yet here we are. The DOJ, the House Committee, and the Georgia AG have been working overtime for 2 years to gather a preponderance of evidence that Trump (and his cronies) behaved criminally in various ways. And that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. I'll add that it's entirely bizzare that a special house commite had to be formed just to conduct an investigation that DoJ could've conducted in the first six months after Trump organized a coup to overthrow the US government. Yet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results. It took all this time and effort just to reach a conclusion that Trump 'could be charged'. That would be so completely laughable if the continuation of democracy itself wasn't in question.

> With so many evidence avaliable it certainly doesn't seem like a case that would require over two years of evidence gathering The evidence is available because of the two years of evidence gathering. A lot of that time involves the legal battles of procuring the evidence in the first place. For example the Georgia grand jury issued a subpoena to Senator Lindsey Graham in early July, and he fought it all the way up to the Supreme Court, which denied his appeal, and he finally had to testify in late November. So he was able to delay for almost half a year, and in the meantime Georgia prosecutors had to prepare and defend their subpoena in court every step of the way. Practically every bit of evidence takes extensive preparation to justify demanding it, then to negotiate and/or battle over how much they can legally demand, when and how the evidence will be provided, and under what limitations. Trump and his cronies are notorious for gumming up the process in appeals which delay every step by months or years. My understanding is that the Georgia grand jury looked at far more than just Trump and a single phone call. They were looking at "a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere." The phone call was one piece of the puzzle, but there were other phone calls by Trump and his allies, false statements made by the Trump campaign in Georgia legislative meetings, several people signing fake elector certificates, attempts to pressure/intimidate election workers, breaches of election equipment, etc. That's a lot. It takes time. Two years is actually pretty fast for something of this magnitude. And that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. So far. The DOJ case is the largest and most widespread investigation in DOJ history, with the largest number of defendants of any criminal investigation. This takes time. it's entirely bizzare that a special house commite had to be formed just to conduct an investigation that DoJ could've conducted in the first six months The DOJ was investigating during the first six months. In the first six months the DOJ identified, arrested, and charged hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol. In the meantime they were raiding Giuliani's house and confiscating phones and devices from him and other Trump lawyers and advisors. In the meantime they were preparing Seditious Conspiracy prosecutions for Proud Boys. In the meantime they were building up justification to raid Mar a Lago, and then fighting in court to get access to the documents they confiscated. In the meantime they were fighting in court to enforce subpoenas and to overcome executive privilege claims that were obstructing their investigation. The DOJ has limited resources and only so many prosecutors to go around. Reportedly the DOJ has had to "borrow" state prosecutors just to keep up with the massive amount of work this investigation requires. So it's a good thing the House Committee conducted their own investigation, as it procured shitloads of evidence and testimony that the DOJ didn't have to devote resources to. And now that the DOJ has the House report, they have a new batch of leads to follow, which is evident from the new round of subpoenas Smith issued in the last few weeks. Yet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results. If you think building a case of this magnitude should be quick, I don't know what to tell you. I've tried to give you a sense of the monumental amount of work involved, and the monumental amount of work that it takes to prepare and battle each and every step of the overall monumental work. The fact that it's only been two years and several of these investigations are already concluding and appear to be on the cusp of indictments, is actually pretty fast, when you consider the massive number of people and the wide range of alleged crimes involved.

For example the Georgia grand jury issued a subpoena to Senator Lindsey Graham in early July, and he fought it all the way up to the Supreme Court, which denied his appeal, and he finally had to testify in late November. So he was able to delay for almost half a year, and in the meantime Georgia prosecutors had to prepare and defend their subpoena in court every step of the way. Practically every bit of evidence takes extensive preparation to justify demanding it, then to negotiate and/or battle over how much they can legally demand, when and how the evidence will be provided, and under what limitations. Trump and his cronies are notorious for gumming up the process in appeals which delay every step by months or years. \nMy understanding is that the Georgia grand jury looked at far more than just Trump and a single phone call. They were looking at \"a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.\" The phone call was one piece of the puzzle, but there were other phone calls by Trump and his allies, false statements made by the Trump campaign in Georgia legislative meetings, several people signing fake elector certificates, attempts to pressure/intimidate election workers, breaches of election equipment, etc. That's a lot. It takes time. Two years is actually pretty fast for something of this magnitude. \n\nAnd that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. \n\nSo far. The DOJ case is the largest and most widespread investigation in DOJ history, with the largest number of defendants of any criminal investigation. This takes time. \n\nit's entirely bizzare that a special house commite had to be formed just to conduct an investigation that DoJ could've conducted in the first six months\n\nThe DOJ was investigating during the first six months. In the first six months the DOJ identified, arrested, and charged hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol. In the meantime they were raiding Giuliani's house and confiscating phones and devices from him and other Trump lawyers and advisors. In the meantime they were preparing Seditious Conspiracy prosecutions for Proud Boys. In the meantime they were building up justification to raid Mar a Lago, and then fighting in court to get access to the documents they confiscated. In the meantime they were fighting in court to enforce subpoenas and to overcome executive privilege claims that were obstructing their investigation. \nThe DOJ has limited resources and only so many prosecutors to go around. Reportedly the DOJ has had to \"borrow\" state prosecutors just to keep up with the massive amount of work this investigation requires. So it's a good thing the House Committee conducted their own investigation, as it procured shitloads of evidence and testimony that the DOJ didn't have to devote resources to. And now that the DOJ has the House report, they have a new batch of leads to follow, which is evident from the new round of subpoenas Smith issued in the last few weeks. \n\nYet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results.\n\nIf you think building a case of this magnitude should be quick, I don't know what to tell you.

They've had a grand jury examining evidence for months. The call is not enough without a preponderance of evidence attesting to Trump's mental state at the time of the call and proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended for Raffensberger to commit election fraud, when his words technically said otherwise. \nI imagine the House Committee report will be invaluable in demonstrating that Trump knew he was lying on that phone call. Rushing a prosecution before those hearings concluded would have been foolhardy.", ">\n\n\nThe call is not enough without a preponderance of evidence attesting to Trump's mental state at the time\n\nEvidence of Trump's mental state? Like wtf? There's no reason to suspect Trump wasn't of sound mind when he made that call, why would the prosecution need to gather evidence regarding his mental state? \nAll the evidence prosecution needed are right there in that phone call. Especially when paired with all the publicly avaliable Trump's unproven claims of stolen elections - as if the context of a incumbent struggling for a second term and abusing his presudential position to influence election officials wasn't enough already. On top of all that, any further evidence they might have needed could've easily been gathered in the past two years. \nSo either we're gonna keep making excuses why an attempt to overturn American democracy has gone unpunished, or it's time to finally face the fact that Trump is above the law, and unless the American public actively demands justice, nothings going to be done, and Trump won't live to see the inside of a courthouse, much less a conviction.", ">\n\n\nAll the evidence prosecution needed are right there in that phone call.\n\nWhere did you go to law school? \nThe Georgia law re: criminal solicitation of election fraud requires proof of intent. It is the prosecution's burden of proof to demonstrate that Trump meant \"feloniously fabricate 11,780 votes that don't exist,\" when technically his words said \"my sources tell me that thousands of my votes were illegally discarded and thousands of Biden votes were illegally created, so I need you to investigate until you find enough of these fraudulent votes, at least 11,780, to show that the election was stolen from me.\" \nOf course we all know what he really meant. But the law is very literal, and the prosecution is required to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he meant something different from what he said. If anyone on that jury suspects that Trump really believed there was ballot-stuffing in Georgia, then the prosecution fails to prove criminal intent, and therefore he cannot be convicted of solicitation of election fraud. \nI wouldn't want to be the prosecutor who has to prove Donald J. Trump didn't believe a conspiracy theory that served his ego. \n\nOn top of all that, any further evidence they might have needed could've easily been gathered in the past two years. \n\nAnd that is exactly what they have been doing. There have been grand juries examining evidence, gathering testimony and communications records from various election officials, lawmakers, people in Trump's orbit, etc., and, considering the timing of their recent conclusion, I presume they have also been examining the House Committee hearings, which make the strongest case so far that Trump knew he lost Georgia. I believe they are also looking at crimes beyond the phone call, related to fraud, intimidation, etc. \n\nwe're gonna keep making excuses \n\nNobody is making excuses to not prosecute Trump. I am explaining the legal steps they have been taking to prosecute him. \nEverything Georgia has been doing signals that they are serious about building a strong case to prosecute Trump and, probably, others in his orbit. You don't impanel grand juries and subpoena congressmen and presidential advisors just for funsies. \nNote that I'm not saying they definitely will indict, and I'm not saying \"the walls are closing in, it's really gonna happen this time.\" There is still a possibility that that the Grand Jury has concluded \"it's obvious Trump is guilty as fuck, but the evidence is ambiguous/circumstantial enough that it may not be possible to secure a conviction under the law as it is written. Given what we know, and what legal scholars have argued in various articles, I think it's more likely they will move forward with indictments. \nApparently under Georgia law, the next step is to impanel another Grand Jury with indictment powers. I don't know how long that process takes. Again, I'm not saying that Georgia will definitely indict: I don't have enough information to make this claim. But I am saying that they have done everything possible to get this case to third base with the bases loaded and a strong hitter at bat, so suggesting they are not serious about trying to hold Trump accountable is verifiably incorrect.", ">\n\n\nThe Georgia law re: criminal solicitation of election fraud requires proof of intent\n\nWhen did I say that prosecutors should not bother proving Trump had an intent to falsy election results?

But the law is very literal, and the prosecution is required to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he meant something different from what he said.

I don't know how long that process takes. Again, I'm not saying that Georgia will definitely indict: I don't have enough information to make this claim.

The Georgia grand jury has reached a conclusion that has not yet been released, but I think it's likely it has gathered enough to justify criminal state level indictments. \nI'm not going to say that indictments are definitely imminent, but the conclusions of these two major investigations suggest that we are significantly closer to, not farther from, the likelihood of seeing Trump in a courtroom.", ">\n\n\nThese are both the same thing.

For example the Georgia grand jury issued a subpoena to Senator Lindsey Graham in early July, and he fought it all the way up to the Supreme Court, which denied his appeal, and he finally had to testify in late November. So he was able to delay for almost half a year, and in the meantime Georgia prosecutors had to prepare and defend their subpoena in court every step of the way. Practically every bit of evidence takes extensive preparation to justify demanding it, then to negotiate and/or battle over how much they can legally demand, when and how the evidence will be provided, and under what limitations. Trump and his cronies are notorious for gumming up the process in appeals which delay every step by months or years. \nMy understanding is that the Georgia grand jury looked at far more than just Trump and a single phone call. They were looking at \"a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.\" The phone call was one piece of the puzzle, but there were other phone calls by Trump and his allies, false statements made by the Trump campaign in Georgia legislative meetings, several people signing fake elector certificates, attempts to pressure/intimidate election workers, breaches of election equipment, etc. That's a lot. It takes time. Two years is actually pretty fast for something of this magnitude. \n\nAnd that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. \n\nSo far.

In the first six months the DOJ identified, arrested, and charged hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol. In the meantime they were raiding Giuliani's house and confiscating phones and devices from him and other Trump lawyers and advisors. In the meantime they were preparing Seditious Conspiracy prosecutions for Proud Boys. In the meantime they were building up justification to raid Mar a Lago, and then fighting in court to get access to the documents they confiscated. In the meantime they were fighting in court to enforce subpoenas and to overcome executive privilege claims that were obstructing their investigation. \nThe DOJ has limited resources and only so many prosecutors to go around. Reportedly the DOJ has had to \"borrow\" state prosecutors just to keep up with the massive amount of work this investigation requires. So it's a good thing the House Committee conducted their own investigation, as it procured shitloads of evidence and testimony that the DOJ didn't have to devote resources to. And now that the DOJ has the House report, they have a new batch of leads to follow, which is evident from the new round of subpoenas Smith issued in the last few weeks. \n\nYet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results.\n\nIf you think building a case of this magnitude should be quick, I don't know what to tell you.

There have been grand juries examining evidence, gathering testimony and communications records from various election officials, lawmakers, people in Trump's orbit, etc., and, considering the timing of their recent conclusion, I presume they have also been examining the House Committee hearings, which make the strongest case so far that Trump knew he lost Georgia. I believe they are also looking at crimes beyond the phone call, related to fraud, intimidation, etc. \n\nwe're gonna keep making excuses \n\nNobody is making excuses to not prosecute Trump. I am explaining the legal steps they have been taking to prosecute him. \nEverything Georgia has been doing signals that they are serious about building a strong case to prosecute Trump and, probably, others in his orbit. You don't impanel grand juries and subpoena congressmen and presidential advisors just for funsies. \nNote that I'm not saying they definitely will indict, and I'm not saying \"the walls are closing in, it's really gonna happen this time.\" There is still a possibility that that the Grand Jury has concluded \"it's obvious Trump is guilty as fuck, but the evidence is ambiguous/circumstantial enough that it may not be possible to secure a conviction under the law as it is written. Given what we know, and what legal scholars have argued in various articles, I think it's more likely they will move forward with indictments. \nApparently under Georgia law, the next step is to impanel another Grand Jury with indictment powers. I don't know how long that process takes. Again, I'm not saying that Georgia will definitely indict: I don't have enough information to make this claim. But I am saying that they have done everything possible to get this case to third base with the bases loaded and a strong hitter at bat, so suggesting they are not serious about trying to hold Trump accountable is verifiably incorrect.", ">\n\n\nThe Georgia law re: criminal solicitation of election fraud requires proof of intent\n\nWhen did I say that prosecutors should not bother proving Trump had an intent to falsy election results? And why did you suddenly switch from taking about Trump's 'mental state' to discussing his intent? Maybe because you realized your original post made no sense?\n\nThere have been grand juries examining evidence\n\nJan 6th commite has also conducted an investigation into a much more complicated matter. It resulted in a criminal referral. Two years after the fact. So I think my comment still stands, Trump won't live to see the inside of a courtroom.", ">\n\n\nwhy did you suddenly switch from taking about Trump's 'mental state' to discussing his intent?\n\nThese are both the same thing. A defendant's \"mental state\" is a legal term for establishing (among other things), whether the defendant had criminal intent. In this case, it is crucial for the prosecution to prove that Trump's state of mind, at the time of the phone call, was the felonious intention to willfully solicit a fabricated vote count. \n\nJan 6th commite has also conducted an investigation into a much more complicated matter. It resulted in a criminal referral. Two years after the fact. So I think my comment still stands, Trump won't live to see the inside of a courtroom.\n\nThe DOJ, the House Committee, and the Georgia AG have been working overtime for 2 years to gather a preponderance of evidence that Trump (and his cronies) behaved criminally in various ways. The House Committee has reached a conclusion that Trump could be charged with at least 4 crimes, and has released all their evidence. The Georgia grand jury has reached a conclusion that has not yet been released, but I think it's likely it has gathered enough to justify criminal state level indictments. \nI'm not going to say that indictments are definitely imminent, but the conclusions of these two major investigations suggest that we are significantly closer to, not farther from, the likelihood of seeing Trump in a courtroom.", ">\n\n\nThese are both the same thing. A defendant's \"mental state\" is a legal term for establishing (among other things), whether the defendant had criminal intent.\n\nThat's my mistake then, you were using such a broad term, I had no idea you wers referring to actual intent. I really didn't expect anyone would quest Trump's intent considering its blatantly obvious from the contents of his phone call, especially in the context of all his public statements regarding unbased claims of stolen elections. \nWith so many evidence avaliable it certainly doesn't seem like a case that would require over two years of evidence gathering without even an indicement, yet here we are. \n\nThe DOJ, the House Committee, and the Georgia AG have been working overtime for 2 years to gather a preponderance of evidence that Trump (and his cronies) behaved criminally in various ways. \n\nAnd that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. \nI'll add that it's entirely bizzare that a special house commite had to be formed just to conduct an investigation that DoJ could've conducted in the first six months after Trump organized a coup to overthrow the US government. \nYet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results.\nIt took all this time and effort just to reach a conclusion that Trump 'could be charged'.\nThat would be so completely laughable if the continuation of democracy itself wasn't in question.", ">\n\n\nWith so many evidence avaliable it certainly doesn't seem like a case that would require over two years of evidence gathering \n\nThe evidence is available because of the two years of evidence gathering. \nA lot of that time involves the legal battles of procuring the evidence in the first place. For example the Georgia grand jury issued a subpoena to Senator Lindsey Graham in early July, and he fought it all the way up to the Supreme Court, which denied his appeal, and he finally had to testify in late November. So he was able to delay for almost half a year, and in the meantime Georgia prosecutors had to prepare and defend their subpoena in court every step of the way. Practically every bit of evidence takes extensive preparation to justify demanding it, then to negotiate and/or battle over how much they can legally demand, when and how the evidence will be provided, and under what limitations. Trump and his cronies are notorious for gumming up the process in appeals which delay every step by months or years. \nMy understanding is that the Georgia grand jury looked at far more than just Trump and a single phone call. They were looking at \"a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.\" The phone call was one piece of the puzzle, but there were other phone calls by Trump and his allies, false statements made by the Trump campaign in Georgia legislative meetings, several people signing fake elector certificates, attempts to pressure/intimidate election workers, breaches of election equipment, etc. That's a lot. It takes time. Two years is actually pretty fast for something of this magnitude. \n\nAnd that's amounted to nothing at all so far. Again, not even an indicement. \n\nSo far. The DOJ case is the largest and most widespread investigation in DOJ history, with the largest number of defendants of any criminal investigation. This takes time. \n\nit's entirely bizzare that a special house commite had to be formed just to conduct an investigation that DoJ could've conducted in the first six months\n\nThe DOJ was investigating during the first six months. In the first six months the DOJ identified, arrested, and charged hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol. In the meantime they were raiding Giuliani's house and confiscating phones and devices from him and other Trump lawyers and advisors. In the meantime they were preparing Seditious Conspiracy prosecutions for Proud Boys. In the meantime they were building up justification to raid Mar a Lago, and then fighting in court to get access to the documents they confiscated. In the meantime they were fighting in court to enforce subpoenas and to overcome executive privilege claims that were obstructing their investigation. \nThe DOJ has limited resources and only so many prosecutors to go around. Reportedly the DOJ has had to \"borrow\" state prosecutors just to keep up with the massive amount of work this investigation requires. So it's a good thing the House Committee conducted their own investigation, as it procured shitloads of evidence and testimony that the DOJ didn't have to devote resources to. And now that the DOJ has the House report, they have a new batch of leads to follow, which is evident from the new round of subpoenas Smith issued in the last few weeks. \n\nYet, two years after the fact, countless evidence were gathered all pointing to an unmistakable conclusion that was apparent from the very start, Trump perposefuly organized a coup, lied about election fraud and tried to falsfy election results.\n\nIf you think building a case of this magnitude should be quick, I don't know what to tell you. I've tried to give you a sense of the monumental amount of work involved, and the monumental amount of work that it takes to prepare and battle each and every step of the overall monumental work. The fact that it's only been two years and several of these investigations are already concluding and appear to be on the cusp of indictments, is actually pretty fast, when you consider the massive number of people and the wide range of alleged crimes involved.", ">\n\nWho knows but lets go already!!", ">\n\nIt'll be like smashing a champagne bottle against his thick skull.", ">\n\nSatisfyingly squelchy?", ">\n\nShe needs to hire heavy security if she does, given how unhinged his fanclub is.", ">\n\nThat’s what worries me.
