    Psst. Big legal cases aren’t settled in an hour. You’re thinking Law and Order.

    Real cases, big cases, take years.

      What did they do in the four years they had power?

      They had more time to prepare a case if you want to include any of the four years prior to their term.

        Nothing. They said the “nation needs to move on and heal”. What needed to happen as quickly as possible was consequences and reform. Nether happened and it seems the democrats strategy was to wait until before elections and try to get at least one of the lawsuits to convict him. Except that the corrupt judicial system that republicans set up for this exact type of scenario over many decades of capture didn’t sentence him! And the cases were dismissed or swept under-the rug once he was elected. Thanks supreme(ly) corrupt court!
