I wonder about the timing too. He's never even tried to hide his criminal behaviour or disguise it in any way, and it took them over two years to decide they have enough evidence to indict.

If I ran for my local council, lost, then phoned the person counting the votes at the school nearby and told them exactly how many votes I needed plus one, then gave a speech to my followers (whoever that would be) and told them to go storm the town hall, I'd be in jail the next day and in court the next week.
