And just like Pilate, those in power today know full well what happens to [them] personally who defy [their] masters. Had Pilate chosen to just dismiss Jesus, the Emperor himself would've had to remove Pilate from power. And in Rome back then, much like with today's Western political [el'ite] control centers, that meant Pilate most likely would've been executed for failing to "maintain the peace" (control) in that region. And I believe "people" like Engoron, James, and all the rest have no choice BUT to try to end POTUS45. It's not just about power and control. It's about survival.
