True, but the point of applying the penalty is prevention in the future. If they know they won't be penalized then what's stopping them from offending? Treason should at least be life in prison.
If the "It's going to be Biblical" line would play out, there would be total destruction of every man, woman, he and she-ass, and a salting of the ground.
Once we remove the wrong people from power, we have already prevented their future misdeeds. If we let the wrong people back in power, nothing we do today is going to deter them. Any punishment we give out today will only incentivize them to be more brutal and controlling, if they ever attain power again.
Disagree. Any future offenders will think twice if they watch others hang from a noose, or spend life in prison. Showing mercy is instances such as these is weakness, and these types prey on weakness. Showing mercy is what the democrats (commies) do with our enemies and all it does is embolden them. Strength is what works and it is being proven by Trump literally right now.
The whole point is that anyone who would be a future offender needs to be weeded out before we put them in a position of power. What the Democrats are doing isn't mercy, it is collusion. The ability to grant mercy shows that we are strong and so secure in our position, that we don't have to lash out or use deterrence. We don't have to hunt down a bunch of puppet bureaucrats to prove a point. In fact, doing so is what will make us weak. We must be above pettiness.

In the words of Tom Homan...
"We are going to enforce the law and we are not going to apologize for it."
That is exactly what we should be doing with all those who broke the law. Period
