We haven't forgotten, and the judicial stuff is still running in the background. Most people know that justice won't be served though. It's more of a symbolic indictment, and more digging might help uncover the orders from some higherups.

Briefly saw an article with the essence of "Trump thought Turkey was bluffing".

One interesting segment:

And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials.

Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago.

These nukes should have been brought home a long time ago, at the latest after the aftermath of the (staged?) coup in the summer of 2016. That was the moment in time when Erdogan jumped the shark and turned his back on democracy once and for all.
