That much is probably true, and it is starting to happen already. Ironically, that they did this so close to the Inauguration means Trump can't pardon them, since he'll be out of office (one way or another) before any conviction happens.
I find the irony rather delicious, to be honest, but I've been paying attention to these scumbags since the early 1990s and come from a large family of loyal Republicans who still think theirs is the party of Lincoln, (Theodore) Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. Whereas I see it as the party of Hoover, Nixon, Reagan, and Jefferson Davis.
TBH, I'd like to see the entire conservative "movement" investigated as if it were an organized crime syndicate, because they did all the nefarious shit they accused their opponents of doing and have done their damnedest to overthrow the US government. Fuck them all, from richest to poorest.
