The slow wheels of justice are exposing Trump's suspected crookery, according to a former Republican lawmaker.

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) unleashed a salvo against the 45th president for flagrantly shirking the law and undermining the position he swore to uphold.

"The stakes that Donald Trump is incompetent or unfaithful to the interest and fidelity of our own country is ultimately what the nation will see play out here," Jolly said during an appearance on MSNBC's Alicia Menendez.

Jolly was asked to react to an audio recording where Trump was at Mar-a-Lago showing off secret documents that laid out military plans to attack Iran.

"This is where Donald Trump's failure of leadership can really hurt the United States, among dozens of other examples that we all witnessed," Jolly said.

Recently, Trump has been blamed for keeping cozy relationship with a former Mar-a-Lago employee who reportedly handled "several boxes" of classified documents on behalf of his former boss.

Trump was charged for withholding and concealing these classified and top-secret documents from the feds. He allegedly hoarded them after leaving the White House.

A raid was initiated to seize them.

The conduct is too unbecoming to take for Jolly.

"All of this: the contact of the employees, 'Oh, the president wants you to know that you are a good person or you would not cross the president!' or 'Certainly you don't think that happened!' — all of that type of witness [sic] intimidation is — under most conditions, and it will present to the judge or to a jury the president's frame of mind that arguably has consciousness of guilt."

And this is where Jolly is convinced Trump's actions will be brought to bear.

"What we have seen in these cases is that justice is working; it is slow but it is working," he said. "And I do believe all of these reported out stories and anecdotes will ultimately be part the fabric that leads to Donald Trump's ultimate conviction."
