MAGA world swallows a difficult truth: Arresting Trump’s opponents is easier said than done
It’s a familiar refrain for Trump’s second term: The far right lusts to see prominent Democrats or Trump adversaries hauled off in handcuffs, only to be let down when their revenge fantasies run into reality...This cycle — impetuous promises of criminal consequences followed by dejection when Trump’s enemies aren’t immediately arrested — has already happened with Jack Smith, with James Comey, even with Joe Biden and Barack Obama (and their top advisers). The Trump administration has ordered investigations of all these figures, but legal experts say the probes are largely performative and unlikely to prompt serious or legitimate criminal charges.

How many times have MAGA supporters gloated about prosecutions of various Democratic and alleged Deep State figures. Investigations from Trump's first term all failed miserably. Now they're trying to revive the same old sh*t.
