34 convictions = Zero punishments.

Dozens of top-secret MILITARY documents stolen = Not even a trial to begin with.

Conspiracy to steal an election followed by an attempt to violently overthrow the government = Not even a trial either.

Those are just the crimes that have clear pieces of evidence brought up by prosecutors. There may be a lot more not even prosecuted yet (like dozens of murders in high ocean waters, for just one instance).

The Rule Of Law is now a sad joke.
