Trump tends to get a pass, but he has no problem letting underlings go to prison for him. Perhaps pressing charges against enough of them would do something. The problem is the Office of the Special Counsel would investigate and bring it to court only if there’s a complaint and although that’s one of those “independent" federal agencies Trump hates it's being run by a Trump political appointee. Impeachment of his appointees could work, but Congress won’t do anything right now either. Hell, they’re not even in session. Maybe after, if there is an after, some prices can be paid that will discourage future violations.

Its been a fundamental problem for decades at this point that half of the government is just paralyzed on purpose. The voters who vote in this congress (a lot of members have been there decades) need to finally wake up and decide that enough is enough.

I don't know how this gets resolved when its been a whole generation since we've had a government that didn't act like this. These people don't seem to realize that things can be done differently. Only about 50% of the US population has a passport so they haven't even seen how things operate in places with better governance.
