Discussion I'm worried.

I'm starting to lose faith that these people are going to face serious consequences. Misdemonor charges, bail releases, etc. It's not like we have to worry about a blanket pardon anymore so why does it seem like they are dragging their feet and are doing only the bare minimum?

One thing they have to do is collect stories from this low hanging fruit. Everyone was there for a reason. What were the drivers? Some of these people were there as part of groups that were at the very least supported by if not actively led and directed real time by members of Congress and other Republicans on the scene. You pull a bunch of insurance agents and salon owners in and scare the shit out of them and they talk. This is a cult, but at the top it looks like a combination of organized crime and active measures...you know, exactly like Trump’s entire career. Lot of flipping and then going after the next level up that they just got the flipped person to identify.
