Some of these cases have been in the works for years. I think the one involving Mary Trump might even be over and done with, unless there are appeals or something more than I'm aware of.Well, did all of the events occur in the same time period? Perhaps they did. I dont really know. I don't follow any of this except what I occasionally see here.
The ones relating to things he did while in office are of course compressed into the timespan of those four years, with some of them only able to move forward once he was out of office, and others only once specific information became available such as his taxes or the Trump Org. financial information.
At the same time, some cases take only months to be ready for trial while others take years even with a cooperative subject which of course he isn't.
I think there is some small element of coincidence with so many of these cases becoming "ripe" now, but for the most part I don't think it's coincidence but rather it simply being a sufficient length of time since he left office and cases could move forward with gathering their information. Plus somewhat of a snowball effect of one thing leading to another, one case providing impetus or information needed for another case to appear or move forward.
I know that if I had been groped/assaulted by him and had been too intimidated to speak up earlier, about now is when I would have the courage to do so. I won't be surprised if there are more of those kinds of charges coming out of the woodwork in that manner -- and all at once, since the new lookback law that permits charges for incidents past their statute of limitations is only good for one year from when it passed, as I understand it.
