Many pitfalls and risks remain. The window for real accountability is narrow and closing. Donald Trump will push hard to delay and evade, and there are many ways he could succeed. But the more different strong and credible accountability efforts he faces, the better the chance that one or several will succeed and that an understanding of his criminality will break through to more of the American people.
Had the Department of Justice moved quickly and decisively, it is possible that indictments could have been returned with plenty of time to ensure trials before the 2024 election, which could have removed some of the uncertainty and risk we now face. That could have made real accountability a more likely result. Earlier indictments also could have moved public opinion and perhaps allowed for less resulting polarization.
