    Initial reports, and rock-solid evidence to bring to court to try an elected sitting congressman are two VERY different things. 18 months is rarely enough time to do discovery and complete a trial for a murder with multiple eye-witnesses.

    We literally saw the venmo transaction lol

    I’ve seen people charged, tried, and prosecuted for soliciting sex in a weekend.

      How odd! The courts operate on the weekends where you live? Go to jail around here on a Friday and you’re sitting until Monday, at least.
