Although crimes were committed, they pale in comparison with setting up an insurrection that murdered a cop, injured hundreds others, and threatened the lives of elected officials.

Did those precedents ever prevented Trump's henchmen from conspiring and committing these crimes? Nope. Never occured to them he was lying and bullying them daily with his unhinged temper tantrums in the Oval Office?
