Prosecuting criminals.


That'll only work here if there are reforms to the pardon power while we're at it. Any convictions a Democratic administration manages to obtain will be pardoned the next time a Republican gets in.


That Jan 6th participants were almost uniformly let off the hook is a stain that will continue to haunt us until pardon power is finally reigned in.


Agreed

More than prosecution we need politicians elected who are willing to reform. Even if those reforms reduce their power as well


Both is fine.

Prosecute, and get rid of the loopholes that made it necessary to do so.
