Well, you can’t arrest a sitting president, and Senate was majority Republican and they tow the party line so yeah most Democrats could do was impeach and let the Republicans bail him out
But now he’s not president, and has to face the courts as a citizen. The investigators aren’t going to rush a case like this, but you also can’t risk it going over to the election before getting a conviction. Honestly the timing on all this seems pretty on point
It’s not the investigators who are creating the hype, it’s the media. And the media does it because the think it sells. 'Effin BBC had live coverage of this dude arriving to his last court hearing, including his plane landing, wtf?! Who watches this shit in a country which has nothing to do with that idiot?
Murder investigations can take years to get the person responsible on for trial even when in hindsight the evidence makes it seem obvious who did it.
This isn’t a murder obviously but it is multiple messy messy cases with lots of moving delicate parts that as people who have never done a criminal investigation can’t even imagine. I wouldn’t want to rush into a case and end up bungling it because I didn’t take my time.
They’ve been saying shit since he got elected. Like honestly, shit or get off the pot.

A sitting president has been arrested
Not a US President
U S Grant was arrested while in office. The arrest did not lead to a constitutional crisis.
True, but the consensus among legal scholars is that it’s not a binding precedent. I don’t remember the reasoning behind it.
Criminal investigations take time under the best of circumstances. These are not the best of circumstances.

real life isn’t Suits where charges are brought and a week later you are in a court.
