I'm still not holding my breath on this, but please, please, please let's have some actual consequences for these people. Nobody should be above the law.

DJT is obviously guilty of a bunch of crimes.

Where in the US can you still find a jury without a single Trumpster on it though? It's sad that getting away with everything he has is possible, but I don't see him ever facing consequences.

Smith made the interesting choice to go through Miami rather than DC. One of the guesses is that filing in such a pro Trump jurisdiction will eliminate many of the stalling tactics and under cut claims of bias. So far Smith seems to be closing the loop holes.
