There’s a lot of people who substitute wishful thinking for how things work in the world.

There’s nothing quick or easy about indictment processes, especially as they relate to the kinds of issues facing the Trump administration and individual members of Trump’s inner circle.

It takes time to build cases, and we’re still in the part of the process where everyone is lawyering up (and it is hilarious to watch Trump suffer from having counsel that is inexperienced as compared to his underlings who have found high-powered/high profile lawyers who deal with these kinds of issues regularly). Everyone is still in the information gathering phase, and indictments could occur after that wraps up.

A lot of people would love that the process goes quicker than it is (and I am among those who would love to see Trump gone sooner, rather than later), but I also know that the process is time consuming and those who are gathering the information want to have all the evidence before they move forward with their recommendations.

That’s why I’d take Preet’s word over Mensch’s - especially considering that Mensch doesn’t have a clue about how the US legal system works, and she’s made that clear on a number of occasions already.
