Waiting 2 years to prosecute this dipshit was political. They should have brought charges sooner. Instead, they drag their feet into election year, making it appear intentional.

Our government is so fucking incompetent. Dude admits to a crime openly and they still manage to fuck it up.

Seriously, they should indicted him right when he took his first step out of the White House door.

They should have indicted him right when he took his first step in to the White House door, for violating the Emoluments Clause. Fuckwad was a criminal from day 1, even ignoring the crimes committed before the election.

That's a real, real bad look.

That’s his skill really. He can make ethically correct decisions look corrupt

You had the Justice Department saying "look he committed crimes, but we can't arrest him because he's president - so either impeach him or vote him out, then we'll do something." So why the fuck did they do anything day 1 of him not being president? Dragging their feet made it a bad look. An immediate arrest would have made it look a thousand times better.
