I agree with you, but there is going to be a lot of pressure, backed by "see what happened when we didn't prosecute the Bush war criminals and the bankers??"
It's going to be a very tough call. I think prosecuting people for their official and/or political acts sets a very dangerous precedent that someone like 45 would gleefully abuse.
And yet, someday there will be a full accounting of all of the gov't money he put in his and his friends' pockets and whatever else he's done to abuse his office. It all needs to come out. But what then?
