Josh needs to do a little more research into how the feds conduct these cases and how they track things prior to bringing charges. There is a reason it took 2 years. They were finding the nails for Josh's judicial coffin.

Jill has been banished from the family for a bit now.
She and her husband Derek are very critical of them. She's basically free from them. She openly talks about how she uses birth control and doesn't want to have a ton of kids.
I'm very happy for her. It also sounds like she got some good therapy once free from them to help heal her traumas from Josh & her family.
And she would have still been there with them if the money was still rolling in.

("they're" are other Duggars). Then he wrote that "The didn't know what we knew when we knew it" and "based on our history, I don't know what scare tactics are used on the others to keep them compliant." Among other stuff.
Derek is turning into a fun loose cannon now. He was already pissed that Jim Bob banned Jill from the family compound, and now that this is out, Derek seems ready to blow. I hope he signs a tell-all deal soon and we find out what it is he and Jill "knew when we knew it" and also what "scare tactics" Jim Bob is using to keep his adult kids in line.
The scare tactics have got to be $$. The Duggars were basically in poverty before their show took off. They didn’t have real health insurance. They lived in a 3/1 ranch house. Only second hand clothes and only Aldi shopping. They had some income coming in but were very stretched having 14 kids. I’m sure the older kids can remember what it was like, and now they’re adults with family of their own. I assume JB controls all the purse strings from TLC money from their early specials, and if the kids stray too far, they don’t get their money anymore. Not so much of an issue for Jill and Derek as they have a normal sized family and D has an actual college education from a real, actual, PUBLIC(!) college. So he has income options. Some of the other ones, eh not so much. They’re stuck in the family business of, like, being low rent landlords and selling sketchy used cars. And trying to rake in a bit of money on social media.
It also seems like when the eldest kids were little, they suffered from food insecurity. So it wasn't just a big family living in a small house full of bunk beds, they had too many mouths to feed and not enough tator tots.
I think so too, definitely. Their diet was a regular subject of discussion when the first special aired. They would load up on canned and frozen foods at Aldi but very few if any fresh fruits and vegetables. And other fundamentalist families are known via their own blogs to have very “light” meals, because it’s hard to feed a family of 2 adults and at least 4 kids (and usually more) on the shoestring incomes they bring in. I’m not too sure if they’re forbidden or discouraged from getting government assistance - I mean they all vote against it and are anti-government in general, but I don’t know if that’s really an ideological belief or if it’s more in the sense of “it’s ok for me and people like me, but not for those other people.”

Because Trump was president and it was his justice department. Trump needed these fundamentalists for the $$$ and votes. No way he was going to rock the boat. Jim Bob was a member of Congress and a close friend of the Hukabees. Hukabees daughter was Trump’s mouthpiece. It was probably more convenient politically and personally to ignore it as long as possible.
Biden’s justice department is up and running now. Garland got confirmed in February and has staffed up since then. That is why you now see the Gaetz case, Stone case, Giuliani case, Trump case, and Duggar case moving forward.
Justice Department is finally working.
*Huckabee
He hasn't been in Congress since 2002.
Federal CP cases move very slowly it's not something special for the Duggars.
