I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

    Yeah. But RICO charges require that you’ve got cooperation and guilty pleas from lower-ranking members of the organization, and they’re willing to point the finger at the leader and say “he’s the one who told me to do it”. So, yeah, that’s part of the reason why he’s the last one in the group to see the inside of a courtroom.

      Are you joking? Numerous people have already turned on him, and those are only the ones we know about so far. You’re a fool if you think all of he people involved (many of whom Trump simply never paid, or immediately threw under the bus at his first convenience) are going to stick by him till the end.

        Oh, they’re not going to stick with him! He’s finished, IMHO. But the question was why it took so long. It’s because the other conspirators had to go first to build the case.
