As an outsider of US politics and stuff, it appears to me that all those charges against Trump seem to happen at the same time now. Is this intentional or simply because that’s how long it took? I guess it will be very expensive for Trump and it will also most likely result in him getting confused by his own lies in front of court.
Let’s hope he will finally be prosecuted for at least some of his crimes and won’t be able to run for president again.
He made enough damage to the US and the world in general.
Merrick Garland dragged his feet, more concerned with accusations of partisanship than the public good. FTA:
From the outset of his tenure atop the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland evinced little interest in mounting any such investigation, fearing that the GOP’s permanently aggrieved MAGA base would view it as a weaponized, partisan effort to hound Trump into political irrelevance.
I don’t think money is a concern for trump, given how much of it he extracted from American tax payers through Secret Service bills, and missing covid relief funds.
I don’t think he’s gonna try to lie that much at this point, at least not lies meant to portray innocence . I think he’s gonna focus on outrage, riling up the whackos who think this behavior is acceptable and warranted. I imagine we’ll hear a lot about the usual stuff like “witch hunt”, “deep state”, etc. He’s gonna be pretty blatant about his motives cause he knows he’s got. He will attempt to incite violence and perhaps even squeak out a few whatabouts to try and drag a few other corrupt rich people down with him. I dunno, it’s gonna be interesting, sadly.

This article from The Nation lays out the problem with why it took so long.
Can someone tldr?

Depending on where you live in the US, it can take years to be seen.
There’s definitely a lot of people actively defending Trump though, which is also a large reason behind the lag in justice.
