Things are becoming serious.
Trump is so callous and open about his corruption and lawlessness now that it could be a foreboding portent of the future. Sycophantic minions are installed in key positions of government so that federal offices will do his bidding no matter how illegal and destructive as recent events have demonstrated. The NOAA announcement affirming Trump's lie, the military refueling at a Trump property, Vice President and Attorney General openly paying fealty to Trump at his properties all testify to this.
In the last election Trump had help from the Russians but he had no personal power over the election itself. The next one will be different. He will do everything within his power, legal or not, to corrupt the system and ensure that he is the winner. As president he will have a powerful ability to do this, especially since federal offices are willing to assist him and the Republican Senate apparently gives their approval. The states run elections and he has no legal influence over them but objections to a state run federal election will be brought up to the federal level where Trump has control. This is one way he could disrupt the results and I'm sure his team is working on more plans that aren't as obvious.
Democrats seem to be playing a long, slow, careful game against a wild, rampaging tiger. I fear that once they bring their carefully measured cases to trial, at best Trump and his gang will drag them out until after the election. At worst they will tear them to shreds with lies and misinformation that are supported by the many complicit federal judges that Trump has installed, including the Supreme Court.
This is essentially a coup of the US government and it has a good chance of succeeding since the opposition, though massive and vocal, has no ability to restrain the torrent of unprecedented corruption as long as the Republican controlled Senate condones it.
The only possible hope is that enough Senate Republicans stand up from their subservient cowering and join Democrats in eliminating this illegal overthrow of the American government but so far there is no indication that they will. Republicans seem content for the American form of government, which has been emulated all over the world, is eliminated and replaced by a insane, autocratic dictatorship.

For reasons I won't go into, I cannot stand them. YMMV.
Mike Pence gets pushed into a cell near his as well as Moscow Mitch and all the rest involved, Barr them up! 
All of them kept in straight jackets so they can't pull an Epstein.
We will hire our bestest to lord over them for meal time and other things!
Give them lots of cameras too, a 24/7 feed to let the nation keep an eye on them, as a kind gesture, since they seem to like that sort of thing.
Oops forgot to mention the ball gags as part of the SJ apparatus, we can't have them actually speaking ever again, something about overexposure and the sound of their voices being a major turnoff to viewership as very long exhausted studies have shown?
I'm was happy for Iowa when they won the random lottery to host:

Fans are delighted and you can't go anywhere without those rainbow T-Shirts, now so popular, and everyone is living their bestest life well except those shitheads, but even steven in the end once we took back all the ill gotten gains of all involved, turns out we are all rich when it got evenly divided back up, what a country!
The corruption was so rampant these 100 episode seasons might be too short?
