Yea, I'm done hearing "the wheels of justice turn slowly..." bullshit. People have had their lives ruined, far quicker, for far less.

The wheels of justice don't turn at all once you reach $1B or so. Their speed is essentially inversely proportional to the net worth of the individual under scrutiny. And if you're really rich you get to buy your own laws through a thing called lobbying. So you will get even more rich.

Life in prison for every single person working under this administration is the moderate position.

After this is all over, we probably need to do something about presidential pardon power. Getting a constitutional amendment through is hard, but I don't see another option.

A different understanding of the extension of the presidential pardon when it creates a conflict of interest from the SCOTUS would be one possible path.

I'm sure plenty of wrathful extremists thought they held a moderate position too.
