Can't argue with that either, back on subject, if the evidence warrants, I would hope any person that conspired to alter the election results be arrested, including Trump.
Then that's unequivocal--for instance, the Orange Pusbag's phone call to Georgia asking to "find" 11,000+ votes.
Also, the House RepubliQ members who voted, without cause, to deny certification of the election.
Or the conspirators in five states who drew up "alternate" lists of electors, just in case the coup succeeded.
But you know that's not going to happen, and in the unlikely event that it does, there won't be any prosecutions or sentences handed down. All any case has to do is hit a Trump judge, and one of the things he actually did during his horror-show Presidency (while working a twenty-hour week and jerking off to Fox News before running off to play golf) was pack the district courts with such judges. If the traitors lose a case before a non-Trump judge, all they have to do is appeal, file for change of venue, etc. etc. until they get to Judge Friendly.
And of course, each and every one of the insurrectionists was trying to alter the results of the election by killing the people who were going to certify it. So each and every one of them should be arrested, just for being there even if they didn't injure or kill anybody. But you've seen--fewer than 20% of them have been arrested, and those who have been prosecuted have gotten wrist-slap sentences. I think trying to kill members of Congress should get you more than six months.
