You have provided a thorough fisking of many of the most culpable among the myriad of culpable government and quasi-government characters who should, were we living in a truly just society, be held criminally and civilly accountable for their high crimes and misdemeanors. But I hold little hope that most, let alone any of them will find themselves on the other side of the lawfare equation. Over the past fifty years, the weasels have been very busy building their dens; it would likely take an equally long time to ferret (sorry for mixing mustilidae metaphors) them out. I will be satisfied if only the most egregious among them are made to answer; perhaps that will serve as a salutary warning to others, like the proverbial killing of chickens to scare the monkeys. And it would give us on the other side at least a smattering of satisfaction after taking so much crap from them these many years.
I don't think Trump is interested in pursuing the culpable en masse. It is a distraction and will serve to re-energize the left, and four years is not a long time. However, he would wise to go after of a few of the worst. Sometimes, you have to hang a nun on the village square to show people that you mean business. Charge someone, and they will be in the position of spending millions of dollars to defend themselves, or cop to a lesser offense. That happens, and all those Deep State types in the various bureaucracies will think twice about pulling anything this time.

Nobody really gets away with anything. If they escape human justice, divine justice waits for them, and not always after they die.
