6. Their worry is that they will be held accountable for their parts in creating this mess.

So, they are hoping that they can 'retire', and everyone will forget them and their part in making the Empire of the United States a reality.

Knowing us, they will probably get away with it, as collectively, we seem to have a pretty short memory these days.

I would prefer that we make sure to express that we are going after those who allowed this horror show to happen, not just the ringleaders. That means every member of Congress who voted to allow that regime to do what it has done and those who ran interference for said regime as well. They all need to have the fear of 'gawd' put into them.

Including a few of their rabid 'attack dogs; wouldn't hurt, either. And maybe a few platforms that were unabashedly biased towards the regime.
