...against the current nest of vipers currently controlling the Republican Party. They have little
to no loyalty to each other, much less the nation.

Not-so-gentle reminders that "the early witness gets the deal"
would help along those lines

For example, conviction for failure to register as a foreign agent carries a much lower penalty
than one for espionage.

And yes, it would mean that some would escape with little to no penalty.
I'd argue that in some cases this might be a price worth paying.

In the immortal words of Steely Dan:

"Throw back the little ones
And pan-fry the big ones
Use tact, poise, and reason
And gently squeeze them..."

Threaten any one of them with anything more draconian than a slap on the wrist, and they'll sing like a bird.

6. It could be done with an independent prosector- but in re Nuremburg:

No one on trial there was offered a plea deal, and the Nazi party wasn't still active at the time, with a large portion not
accepting that they'd lost.

9. I say we give em 2 weeks. End of jan to valentine's day.

Show up to an open session of congress, testify, and get immunity.
Valentines Day the subpoenas go out, and fuck you if you get one; have fun with the Independent Prosecutor were done with your bullshit.
