...but it grinds exceedingly fine. Of course, there is no guarantee that guilty verdicts will be returned or even that the DOJ will act on these criminal referrals. However, everyone who wanted results yesterday misunderstands how this process works. It took two years to bring Nixon to resign, and we are looking at a similar timeline for Trump and January 6th. We've already seen Stewart Rhodes and other co-conspirators convicted.
Ideally, we get "quick" convictions for people like Roger Stone, but that eel of a human being seems to slither out of everything. Even getting someone like Mulvaney to sweat a little bit would be worth it.
There is no way to divorce Trump from the Trumpists. They believe in him, not some set of abstract ideas. The problem is that one of the most important beliefs in Trump is the belief - accurate! - that Trump uniquely annoys/enrages/pwns the libtards. So running a presidential candidate under indictment for sedition and criminal conspiracy likely won't bother them.
As the midterms demonstrated, though, the shelf life for Trump's grievance-based politics is waning. Trump has never been the "People's Choice." Increasing alienation of America's younger voters will only increase. Trump running will bring some Trumpists to the polls who might have sat this one out, but it will motivate normal people even more.
Keep grinding.
