Babies have been conceived and born.

President Batshit is still eating chocolate cake at Mar A Guano.

This is not going well.

They'd better cross every T and dot every i.

On the one hand the domestic terrorists are armed and dangerous; on the other hand they are beginning to see that they were conned. Justice is coming - I am patient enough to wath the hearings and trials unfold.

Insurrectionists being sentenced to two weeks at hard party in Cancun is not my idea of deterrence.

Or maybe not. Mueller's GJs were one thing, these are another. Mueller GJ's were under the Jurisdiction of a Trump-appointed AG. These are not.

Grand Juries are convened all the time, some lead to charges, some don't. The pace of the proceedings has nothing to do with whether charges will be filed, or whether a successful prosecution will eventually be borne from them.

Frustration is understandable, but there is no connection between Mueller grand juries (or any) and these. That's a fact. Yelling 'Fitzmas' in a crowded theater may feel good, but it doesn't really mean anything.

My .02 cents.
