The plan doesn't work all the time - there's always risk

That being said, punting on the prosecutions is the most disappointing and disgusting thing that led trump to power. They relied on the idea that voters wouldn't elect him simply based on j6 and the indictments, but underestimated the stupidity of voters and the way trump manipulates his base. Having bootlickers in places of power to slow it all down certainly did not help.

Regardless, a bunch of dems caved to the budget without the extension of subsidies, so none of it matters anyway
