I don't think anything will really happen to them unless it's states that go after them. I think the best we can hope for is that everything they have done is exposed, we make improvements to try to avoid some of this in the future.
And they are just shunned by the public and Trump business continues to fail .

(5,555 posts)McConnell and the Federalist Society use the lame duck period to fill every single vacancy and also encourage every older conservative judge to retire, maximizing the number of younger right wing judges.
Jake Stern
(3,145 posts)or John Woo (author of the infamous memo green lighting torture) held accountable by the succeeding Democratic administration? Were ANY Bush officials held accountable by the Obama Administration, despite some pretty in-your-face malfeasance?
Hate on me for saying but it appears that Dems just do not have the stomach for going after officials from previous administrations for their activities. We'd rather "look forward" and let sleeping dogs lie.

* Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I first heard this poem when I was in school. Also in the movie Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield. It has always moved me...

(111,079 posts)What if Trump decides that the virus is bad enough to shut down everything, including elections? He wants to open everything up right now but he may change his mind when he decides his best chance of staying in power is to shut everything down just before election?

(4,991 posts)there are things you know and the things you can prove. They aren't always the same thing.
While everyone knows that Trump is a bloviating and corrupt buffoon, but proving that beyond a reasonable doubt, in court, while adhering to the rules of evidence may not be as simple as people think.
This ass clown will have the best lawyers that money can buy who can and will file motion after motion after motion and who can and will spin an excellent and plausible story to a jury.
Convicting a former president would be a significant hill to climb and the evidence has to be absolutely 100% irrefutable and unimpeachable.
