When Trump announced he is running, he also announced a major national security threat. [View all]

Himself. Garland and every prosecutor investigating Trump know he is guilty. They know he stole secret documents, attempted a coup.
They know Trump should never be allowed near the White House ever again. Trump running for president is a major national security threat and the majority of the American people know it.

In my opinion, Garland appointed a special prosecutor in direct response to Trumps announcement. This told me the investigations are moving full steam ahead towards indictments.

Some people are comparing this special counsel to Mueller. That is a false comparison. The Mueller investigation was limited in scope. Trump was president and AG Barr buried the Mueller report. None of that is true in this case.

I must also say this again, the investigations have not been taking too long. Garland did not take office until March 2021. At best he has been investigating Trump for 18 months. Being these are the largest most sensitive investigations in our history, 18 months is not too long.

This is just a guess. I believe we will see Trump indicted in the secret document investigation first. It will not take long for the special counsel to be briefed on that case. That is not really a complicated case. They have smoking gun evidence when it comes to obstruction of justice. Trump defied a grand jury subpoena. That is a felony. They found documents in his office and desk so Trump has no defense.

Some DU members have said they wish Trump would die and be gone forever. I would not complain if that happens. Trump has been disrupting our country and our lives for too long. If he died it would be a great relief.
