What ever happened to the time Trump tried to get dirt on Clinton from a Russian spy? (mander.xyz)

Back in 2017 the story broke that Trump and his goons tried to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton from a Russian government official. The emails were clear solicitation of foreign interference with a presidential election. You know, the whole “if it is what you say, we love it” thing, which must be illegal.

Now he’s getting indicted for some of the other blatantly illegal things he did while president. So what’s going on with that one?

I get that there were probably hundreds of illegal things he did, and some will never get prosecuted, but this seemed like one of the worst, and most red-handed of them all.

Is it just being forgotten or did I miss something?

Pretty much because all these indictments are also bringing up stuff that happened a few years ago. It’s clear that it just takes that long to do the whole process, and maybe they had to wait until after he was president anyway. So I started thinking about all the other shit he did, and this one stood out as one of the worst.
