The strength of the indictment lies as much in what it charges as what it doesn’t charge.

This is the indictment that those who were horrified by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, have been waiting for. The catalog of misdeeds that Donald Trump is accused of is extensive, some reflected in other prosecutions over classified documents and hush-money payments or in civil lawsuits.

    And building a case this secure is why it took 2.5 years to get this indictment. Honestly, light speed in our legal system. Everyone who doubted along the way doesn’t understand how these things work.

      No, at the time the Mueller investigation released its report these crimes hadn’t been committed yet.

      We’re still waiting on indictments for the Mueller investigation crimes! (And the violations of the Emoluments Clause and probably a bunch of other stuff, but who’s counting?)
