I see your point but it ain’t over, yet.
Thanks, here is some interesting history on how many people have been tried for treason and how few paid the ultimate penalty.
Category:People convicted of treason against the United States and their punishment!

John Fries, the leader of Fries’ Rebellion, convicted of treason in 1800 along with two accomplices, and pardoned that same year by John Adams.

Mueller was involved in the Uranium 1 scandal.
Nothing better than to find accord with long-time wise-men Freepers!
Do you really expect us to follow all of those links? What is your main point for them anyway?
WOW! Bookmarking that one! Thanks for posting it.
>> I think we’re headed for major unrest, as one group of people—who have their hearts and minds invested in a worldview which is simply not compatible with objective reality—come to that realization, and refuse to accept the consequences of their delusions.
one more point...
I’m convinced there is dirt on both sides of the aisle. If Trump administration prosecutes ALL guilty parties, including those on the right, that might *MIGHT* temper some of the reaction. It makes it much harder for them to portray it as a political witch hunt. He needs to prosecute “allies” as well as “enemies”. Guilt is guilt and knows no political boundaries.
/// and yet another point ...
>> In contrast, if these criminals aren’t held accountable—because of the cost that would be incurred as far as unrest
The cost of NOT holding them accountable is ultimately far greater.
A Sessions sycophant : “there will be several criminal charges, but we won’t see them because Sessions is working behind the scenes”.
.....................................................
Sycophant is the operative word here.
“I recommend that you hold your breath.”
No one asked your recommendations.
If I ever need an expert in how to surrender quickly, I’ll try to keep you in mind though.
Holy cow, did you compile all that?
I’m with you there. Unless it’s a leftist billionaire, then I’d hangem.
LOL - no, waaaay beyond my pay grade...

Good list of media articles at Dan Bongino’s website.
We shall see ... the media can spin anything into a democrap ‘truth’.
The ‘press’ is a democrat organization...
The press is controlled by the globalist oligarchy, who fund their checks, and who own the democraps and too many republicants. Media is so infected with leftist mindset that they do not even see their sickening bias.
