I am asking here because all the political subs don't allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

Trump has avoided legal trouble so far because there hasn't been enough evidence to guarantee charges would stick. With the latest few indictments, he either basically admitted to the charges or other new evidence came to light. It's taken so long because the prosecutors are making sure they built absolutely bulletproof cases, and because the nature of the trials (first time a former president has been charged), and because trump's lawyers are trying to delay as much as possible. It's basically a huge mess, but the general sentiment is that trump is screwed... Eventually.

    He's committed many crimes with enough evidence against him. He announced on TV he was obstructing justice. The justice department refused to charge him cause he was president, hinting he could be impeached.
