Dems should work with Republicans like:

"You can be on the good side of this or the bad side of this. Noem and Lewandowski clearly committed fraud. Trump has fired her. There is no reason for you to protect her. 18 U.S.C. § 3282 has at least 5 years statute of limitations, 7 years if the fraud is over a million dollars. That means Dems can run hard on this issue in 2028 and tag you guys are part of the fraud network. Or you can join us now and get her prosecuted. That way, we both look good, and you take away a 2028 campaign issue. Which way do you want to play it? We want both of them in prison, and you should, too."
