> They work for Trump so they'll never be held to account, even if a Democrat wins the next election

Why? If Democrats take the House in the midterms, which looks more likely the longer Navarro and Musk have West Wing access, they can basically turn these folks' lives into a living hell of back-to-back hearings (and contempt charges down the road). And if Democrats win the next election, they'll presumably put someone with a pulse in charge who doesn't take two years to bring the most important cases of their administration to the docket.

When Biden was elected they didn't seriously crack down on them before outside of the one case at Justice that went nowhere.

They also didn't prosecute GWB/Cheney/Rumsfeld for war crimes when they had the chance. This is a long standing policy of theirs.

I think Trump could simply pardon them, unfortunately.
