"The fact that they are still walking free feeds the mass delusion."
I've counseled patience on prosecutions since Jan 6, but even I am anxious to see some filthy insurrectionist hides nailed to the wall. Not just the rabble that stormed the Capitol -- Iet's see DOJ start landing some of the big fish!

I'm with you, TPJ. The DOJ is carefully building their case(s) as fast as they can within the constraints of making certain that they are airtight and will result in guilty pleas for the lower level combatants who then turn "states evidence" in exchange for a bit of leniency in sentencing. It is my fervent hope that the "Sedition Caucus" is charged, and ultimately, the ringleaders.
One of the things that the internet has provoked is this belief that everything should happen quickly. There has been only four months since the insurrection at our Capitol. There are hundreds of possible cases. It takes time to build a case, bring it to court, and prove it. In my city, when a homicide happens, people are on Nextdoor, Facebook, and Twitter, only a few days after the crime was committed, asking, "Why haven't they caught someone!" "What are the donut-eating cops doing?" "Why am I paying taxes?" People expect an immediate resolution. One of my hunches was that Trump answered the desire for "immediacy." He had an immediate answer to anything. And, apparently, that's what voters are seeking. Answers. Now. Not later. It's a phenomenal distortion of reality, but a growing, manipulated part of the human frailty.
I'm patient, very aware of legal niceties, but scared to see leading conspirators moving around freely and continuing their seditious activities after an event substantially more grave than the 1923 Munich Beer Hall Putsch.

Morning, TPJ!! Trying to catch up with information overload!
Very good points.
Patience to be sure cases are built, and most of the fish are retained in the net, please.
