Whoa., Mary. You insult me that a woman who is not a rape victim can be casual about the crime? I have read thoroughly the trail of the case you refer to. And suggest that what has happened so far is happening so the eventual outcome cannot be overturned.

I also suggest that the delay in prosecuting this case is not because of our current Atty General.

It is not a delay. It is a refusal. The decision was made. I am not whining about a delay as you and others here and elsewhere assume. You are clearly someone who reads and considers information. You missed the story however, unlike a large throng of upset lawyers and political scientists and rape victims, about the decision not to pursue the case. It's weird and sad to me that millions of us could have poured into the freezing January streets to protest the Inauguration of a rapist for president, and now I am the object of accusations and name-calling ("Lightweight"?!) on a listserv of readers of Heather Cox Richardson for pointing out that the decision to consider Trump still inviolable despite being a regular citizen now is distressing. According to many I know who practice law and law enforcement and teach government and American political history, very distressing. And to rape victims like me, an occasion for despair.
