Exactly so. And many people leap to the conclusion that "accountable" means being indicted for a crime. I'm of a view that other than process crimes, much of what the government did (in particular perpetrate a non-violent sedition involving leaks and lies to the public) is not a crime. It's an in your face breach of public trust by the government, but the government is not capable of holding itself accountable, any more than any other criminal is capable of holding himself accountable. It's up to some outside force to assert power over the government.
Back in the day, that’s what the Press did., today, not no much. The “old, dead white guys” we’re pretty smart hen they set it it up that way. Too bad it went south about 50 years ago.
