6. Probably depends a lot on the next president

Obviously Trump won't, and will obstruct any investigation by the state. I assume Trump will do a mass pardon of ICE/his administration so a future federal prosecution would be out. But the next president could turn over whatever is found for state use.

One flaw Obama had was in not going after the banking industry. Many people think the Biden administration didn't go enough after the first Trump administration and while I'm not wholly on board with that, I do think there's more that could have been done.

I think we will need something whether it's our own Nuremberg trials or truth and reconciliation commission to make sure people understand what has been happening. And it needs to be public whether Internet or TV.
