    I’ll play the advocate here. What good would persecution do now? They wouldn’t stop him in time. All that would do is allow Trump and Musk to claim political persecution.

    And if they did start an investigation, would it be complete before the election? What if they filed charges before? So what.

    Smart play is to wait. Win. Prosecute with four years of time ahead.

    Basically… maybe they will do something still?

    There are three decisions a leader can make: Yes, no, not right now.

      It would, bare minimum, let people know the equivalent of “if you come for the king you better not miss”

      But getting an injunction for something as blatant as this would be a day or two in front of a judge, at most.
