As I see it, there were several events that had me holding my breath that this would ever be investigated, let alone prosecuted, but they have passed and restored my hope. The first was Donald J. Trump being elected, and not Hillary (dodged a MAJOR bullet on that one.) The second event was the inauguration - I was ready to bet money that Obama would fully pardon HRC for any and all crimes, known or unknown. Third, Jeff Sessions' confirmation.
I am growing as impatient as everyone else here, but also consider that Trump is having to run a gauntlet of villains who are just waiting for one clean shot (some metaphorically, some literally) - Iran, China, North Korea, ISIS, Soros. From within the US he's got the DNC, SJWs, criminal Illegal aliens who are desperate to avoid deportation, the New York Times, Washington Post, and just about every other legacy media. In short - he's got a lot on his plate. He made a lot of campaign promises on the trail, and I personally think he's done a masterful job of navigating the landmines as he advances on many of them. He also has made references that a part of draining the swamp is bringing down these trafficking networks. I feel pretty certain that both the NYPD and Wikileaks have the all of the contents of Weiners laptop and the 750K emails and other info it contained. It's also pretty likely that Israel, Russia, and China have it all, too. There are thousands upon thousands of citizen journalists who know Pizzagate is not fake news, and word is getting out quickly. The administration knows that they do not have the luxury of just sitting back and letting this play out without taking action.
There are many in Washington who are running scared - and they are making mistakes. You have Pelosi saying Bush is still president. Maxine Waters thinks the Russians not only tampered with the election, but invaded Korea. Schumer is weeping tears (whether they're real or crocodile, he looks like a terrified mess.) McCain doubling down on his nevertrump stance. Every attempt they have made to discredit Trump or his administration has backfired - recounts that wound up LOSING Hillary votes, and trying to obstruct cabinet confirmations that didn't work. I'm not saying any of them are involved in the pedogate crimes, but they are sure acting like they are nervous that something is about to be discovered about them. A more reasonable reaction after losing an election, I would think, would be to focus on doing the job you have right now, and then figure out how to prepare for the next round of elections. Going into continuous meltdown mode just isn't helping your case. It just makes it look like you're hiding something.
Also keep in mind that the Trump administration is going to need to have some heavy ammunition to break the back of this beast. The pedos are probably already lawyered up (and most of our lawmakers are lawyers themselves). They have no doubt destroyed key evidence, have silenced (or suicided) witnesses, or have already been given immunity. Investigators could have reams and reams of evidence, and hand-carry prosecutors a 99% rock-solid case against every one of the players, but one misstep could lead to the whole thing unraveling before our eyes. If they don't play it right, it could wind up being thrown out on a technicality, and you better believe all of the criminals have lawyers who are already running those possible scenarios. My bigger hope at this precise moment in time is not even for immediate prosecution as much as some confidence that potential future victims will be protected as they investigate and prepare for prosecution. There are good men and women who go into law enforcement for the right reasons. Let's give them a chance to do their jobs.
