18. I don't think they will be held accountable
and I know that wasn't the question

Still, it is unlikely, and I'm aware of how unfortunate that is, that the person eventually seated as President will choose to seek justice.

I'm mightily uncomfortable with the equating of justice with vengeance. I do know many Americans think that way and it is alarming - and such thinking has aided in the corruption of our justice system.

I'm aware that some people actually do think "getting even" (vengeance) is justice and that others would intentionally mislabel justice as vengeance in an attempt to advance a talking point.

Some people seek actual justice.

I won't have any sympathy for my country or her people for the future troubles that will come from not holding a criminal president accountable.

When the criminals of this administration go off to the private sector,as some already have, and while there they engage in policy shaping and lobbying that will directly affect the lives of Americans, to bide their time until a return to government, don't come crying/whining/complaining to me. Just call war crimes and egregious abuses of power a normal/acceptable/expected fluctuation of politics, then sleep well at night knowing you're just so savvy.
