The Democrats have a shot at taking the House and Senate this year. Will they have the courage to launch hearings and pursue criminal prosecution to its end-point — even if that means throwing DJT in prison?

Or will they wimp out, as the US has done since the Reconstruction after the Civil War, and give oligarchs a pass?

In the United States today there is no penalty for flagrant corruption and attempting the overthrow of the US government — if you’re a billionaire.

If you steal $1,000, they throw you in prison, but if you take hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes, they put you in the White House.
