(10,435 posts)The clock is ticking.
As we're told all the time, we don't know what all is being worked on out of sight and may well bring the fascist scum criminals to justice. We also don't know if that is just rhetoric said with the intent of stalling us until it is too late.
I hope and want to see all the tRump criminals rotting in jail on death row like they deserve. But I'm not betting on it.
All we can do is wait and see which is true.
