At this point it is a strategy issue. I suspect what she is waiting for is something that will "move the the needle" in the public mind toward a full-blown impeachment proceeding. Indictments can do that.
Remember, Mueller made no less than fourteen criminal referrals from his investigation, twelve of which were fully redacted in his report. Then there are the state investigations that we know of, making around twenty active criminal investigations. Not only is that an assload, it is absolutely unprecedented for a US President. Essentially, there are twenty or so ticking time bombs around Trump and his crime family, any of which could go off at any time. In most cases, we don't know who the targets are, what the potential offenses are, or even how long the investigation has been ongoing.
Admittedly, some of these bombs will prove to be duds, in that they will result in no indictments, or indictments of minor figures for less serious offenses. But to expect all twenty or so of these bombs to be duds is just whistling past the grave yard. Things are very likely to get gruesome for Trump and his golden circle (i.e., relatives involved in his campaign and/or administration). It's simply a matter of time. If you think you've seen The Orange Menace go crazy, just wait. It's going to get much, much worse. I can only hope that when it's time for TOM to go on suicide watch the BOP won't fuck that one up too.
I agree with most of your comments, except a matter of semantics : Can we please stop say "unprecedented" and "President" in the same sentence or paragraph ? Or for that matter "lower the bar" when William Barr is part of the discussion.
We know prisoners die in federal custody, yet that didn't stop Jeffrey Epstein from dying. And I'm not convinced it's a murder, but that's a different topic....

like whats comes out of Trumps's mouth
on average 20 lies a day, a day !
I have one last fact you can not argue with. President Trump won and he is your president. If you don't like it, leave America.
Donald Trump is the illlegitmately-elected U.S. President. He is NOT my president however. And I'm staying in the USA because in spite of the blatant greed and corruption in government, there's much about my country of birth that's been great for my entire lifetime.
Hope over hate! You can't say it enough! LOVE this slogan! Don't let the man with tiny hands win!
You can kill the virus by injecting/drinking disinfectant, lol, what a F Moron.
We have sunk so low, can it get any worse.
Roll on November
Do you think he really believes that? He's now saying he was being sarcastic when he said that.
One thing is for sure, love him or hate him, he can't speak... articulating is not his strong suit (something I can struggle with).
Playing devil's advocate, he was talking way over his head equating what kills stuff on the outside and using it on the inside... he should have deferred it to the professional doctors... These are the things he should say behind closed doors... Problem is he's too narcissistic and egomaniacal to think he shouldn't edit himself...

his dangerous level of "knowledge" may allow him to think some of the components can be used, but the fake news twisted it into him saying he wants people to snort Lysol or something. Just how I see it... But I don;t know either.
He doesn't realize people out there are dumb enough to actually try it. But he isn't smart enough to see that and that he can be reckless with his words, AND the media is drooling over his dumb statements.
When I see headlines like "CDC reminds Americans not to consume disinfectants" I have to shake my head and remember this fool is president because a significant number of voters thought he was the best choice. The fact that many people thought voting for the cheeto was a good idea is mind boggling, yet here we are. What is even worse is how many will do it again in November.

Strange video! Surely it was taken out of context. It's no secret that millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted by Republican presidents on Voter Fraud commissions.
Bush Jr. had one in the 2000s. Two years ago, Donald Trump hired voter-suppression expert Kris Kobach, former Secretary of State in Kansas.Both of these commissions found almost no voter fraud!
There is however election fraud -- a tactic long employed by Republicans such as the aforementioned Kobach, Governor and former Secretary of State Brian Kemp in Georgia, Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida, and others who threw out / blocked as many non-white and Democratic votes as they possibly could.
Indeed individual voter fraud is very rare. There was one woman in 2016 named Teri Rote, who voted for Donald Trump TWICE. It was the current president himself who earlier this year encouraged his base to do exactly that. We're just not seeing anything like that on the Democratic side. Or for that matter voting by immigrants in this country illegally. It's not happening, because they simply don't want to risk deportation! It's not worth it to commit that kind of federal crime by anyone.
