A colossal waste of time and money.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-colossal-waste-of-time-and-money.html

Investigations, indictments, obfuscation, delay and no trials will ever be held.

When indictments were handed down against Trump, in the documents case and as a result of the insurrection on January 6, 2021, I had a change of heart about the prospects of actually seeing justice be served with regard to the most corrupt, most criminal Presidency in the history of this country. We failed, because of a politically motivated pardon by Gerald Ford, to prosecute and bring to justice the first criminal President in American history. But, in spite of the failure of the two impeachments of Trump to gain convictions, both of which failed because of political manipulation and the abandonment of American patriotic values by most Republican members of the US Congress, when these indicments were handed down, I started to believe that maybe justice would actually prevail.

Unfortunately, we do not have a justice system that can function in a world of big money, spent on armies of lawyers for the sole purpose of piling on delays in order to clog the court calendar, shut down the system and, in the case of a former President and presidential candidate, gain just enough time for him to take a shot on winning the election and then, using the power of office and his choice for attorney general, and judges on the federal bench, to shut it all down and avoid being tried altogether. Those in this country who cannot afford grossly overpriced attorneys to buy time must face the consequences of their actions. Those who have money can buy lawyers to set justice aside, and if that doesn't work, to influence judges to make it work.

Our nation and its government is failing a basic test proving we are a nation of laws, and that we are all equal under the impartial rule of law. It is becoming apparent that we are not a nation of equal justice under the law, and for some people, with enough money and influence, there is no law at all.

And nothing happens.

It cannot take three and a half years to enforce the law and bring felons to justice and call ourselves a nation of laws.
