Fine, you want to have a broader discussion, that's your prerogative. But it's just not true that the current facts of this case are evidence for anything going wrong in US society. That doesn't mean nothing is! I'm honestly not interested in having that broader nuanced discussion in this forum. But I am interested in pointing out nonsense when I see it, and using this case in its current state as evidence of any kind of break-down in the rule of law is just that: nonsense.

Edit to engage directly more:

This is not the same as a mob raiding a newspaper, because law enforcement is, for good reason, given the benefit of the doubt. Especially when they actually do involve the courts by getting a warrant. This makes it worse than a mob when they act corruptly, and especially when the courts also acted corruptly. It's worse, but in ways that make it slower to investigate. The criminality of a regular mob is clear, while the criminality of a law enforcement agency with the support of a judge is unclear. Whereas it would not be hasty to arrest all the members of the mob in a couple days, it would be hasty to arrest all the police officers and a judge prior to figuring out the full story, which takes time.

So no, the system has not failed if it takes more than a week to see arrests. It will likely take more like 6 months to a year. And yep, I would absolutely like complex investigations to go way faster, but it's not unusual or evidence of corruption when they take months or years, it's the normal state.
