They didn't care about criminal charges that amounted to nothing because our justice system waited too long and decided to put it forward in Florida with Trump sycophant judge instead of DC like it should have been. MAGA was able to delay and obfuscate because nothing happened for so long. The sole felony conviction he had came late and was for paying off a pornstar, a conviction that even if deserved, is still so small compared to the crimes he did commit.

Trump would have found it rather difficult running for President if he was in a prison cell during the last year or two.

There was no criminal charge he was facing that would have resulted in actual prison time. That’s just the reality. Beyond that, I think it’s delusional to think that his electorate would meaningfully distinguish between different types of criminal charges when it comes to casting their vote. There was no amount of criminal investigations or convictions that would have changed the election result.
