those who released them are murderers, should
be arrested, convicted and hung with the murderers.
My thoughts exactly.
On pain of death with conviction and execution by members of the public who will have had enough of the corruption. Once those in power are held to a personally liable “on pain of death” standard the fear factor will make them be as honest as they can to avoid ambushes or being murdered themselves. This is the banana republic pushback when one side tries to restore the rule of law, or to clean ot dens of corruption... the gang wars and murders of anyone and everyone anywhere near those in power or those waging the gorilla hit and run warfare will be strewn in the streets.
The most corrupt might survive but the US is headed for the kind of social democracy that S. Korea has where every past president and their family members are imprisoned once they leave office.
