"Justice delayed is justice denied": William E. Gladstone

The wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine.

We see that the Select Committee is planning on getting the phone records of January 6th. Will the targets fight it in the courts? If they can, they will.

There are consequences when justice is delayed, just as there are consequences if justice is rushed.

Some have argued endlessly that you cannot charge people just because you do not like what they say, and that is true. There are others that will say we have seen enough with our own eyes to charge people with crimes? We have seen the evidence. We have heard the phone calls. We have seen the obstruction. We have heard the lies.

We have seen the results of justice delayed.

Is it time to stop tilting at these windmills? Is it time to admit that some people are above the law and will never be charged?

The delay itself is a crime.

I have to say that I'm getting some enjoyment from seeing these late arrests. Some of those traitors thought they had gotten away with their crimes because it took so long. Others have to remain nervous, wondering if their arrest is coming.

There is no justice.

It's all just a charade.
