Punish insurrectionists

To date, Donald Trump and no one from his team or members of Congress have been charged or arrested for crimes associated with the planning, encouragement or participation in the government stoppage, riot and insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. If culpable, they should be held accountable.

Hundreds of little people have been charged, convicted or pleaded guilty. If federal officials get away without being charged, this will lead to further abuses of the law, the oath of office and the Constitution.

This will transform our image as a place “where no one is above the law” into “in the U.S., the politically powerful are above the law.”
