Well before the Republican majority in the House is seated. I realize that justice is slow and it probably won't happen this soon, but we've waited more than long enough and justice is coming for him, Republican House, or not.

... has been brought to bar, it ends badly. That is, there is never justice. It ends in vigilantism with no justice, an exile with no justice, a sweeping under the carpet with no justice, a hardening of the regime with no justice, a civil war with no justice, or a wink and nod with no justice.

We offer justice that requires all parties to have patience while the bad actor uses his rights to try all doors of the law and finally face the people through the Courts.

In some ways through the "miracles" of technology from instant cakes, to TV shows that resolve issues of law, injustice, coming to fair resolution in sixty minutes (less commercials); and in a country where getting to California from back East that took several months of struggle to four hours or less on a commercial airliner: we have come to hold unrealistic expectations of how long the conviction of an American President who broke laws, some of which were not conceivable to the civic mindedness of the "founding fathers", takes. And we still don't know how to prosecute some things he did that we all know were just plain wrong, but are not enumerated in any law today.

Florida Man has caused us to close barn doors no one expected to ever have to close, and barn openings that never before needed a door to be caused to be closed.

The Office of President has been given extra rights to pursue executive action in times of contention (wars, civil disturbance, natural/unnatural disaster) and at the same no one ever expected an American President to subvert those exceptions to actively act in concert with a foreign power to subvert our American Way.

There is no way to ever hold Florida Man to account for everything he is criminally/morally/ethically responsible for: the sheer volume alone is mind bending. But we need to remember we can only hang him once, regardless of however many death sentences we give him or want to give him.

The gallows may wait, but he is finally being put into the tumbrel. Make no mistake.
