Summary
After facing nearly 100 felony charges, including a historic conviction for hush-money payments, Donald Trump’s legal troubles appear to be stalling.
Jack Smith, the special counsel leading key federal cases on election interference and classified documents, reportedly plans to resign following Trump’s recent election victory, which effectively nullifies these cases.
Trump’s return to office, combined with Supreme Court rulings enhancing presidential powers, signals he may face minimal accountability.
This lack of oversight could empower Trump’s administration to act with unprecedented legal and legislative freedom.

From what I’ve read, the concept of appeasement was buying time because Britain was in no position to do anything, which ultimately worked (I’m reminded of the quote “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”).
However it doesn’t work if you’re not planning to do anything!
0% of the time it works every time.
