Just one thing I have been wondering about. So, Q and Trump have been saying that they have it all.

But when it comes to the big names, like the Clintons - how much would really be needed for something like public arrests and really putting any of those people in jail? They have been in the public eye as movers and shakers for decades, a lot of people voted for them when it's somebody like Bill Clinton or Obama, or anybody else who needs to get their seat by voters. Now even when a lot of those votes may have come from cheating, there still probably are still some millions of voters who did vote for them and would not be willing to admit they chose badly, and because of that still see "their" president or governor or senator or whatever as the good guy, especially as "their" good guy (or gal) and somebody they would be willing to even go on barricades for.

So, how MUCH of evidence would those voters and supporters need before they'd be willing to turn against people they have considered "theirs", or at the very least just let it be if those people will end up in jail, instead of rioting or otherwise causing more unrest than Trump and others are willing to risk? The point is to heal your system, not start a civil war for the sake of revenge, right?

I am assuming that at least some of them, maybe a lot of them, may be just let go, at least apparently, even if there may be some punishments that are not obvious on the surface, and at the very least some sort of restraints that make it hard or impossible for them to keep on meddling. They will be allowed to make deals, and we will get announcements of retiring, stepping out of the public eye and concentrating on family or writing an autobiography or something, which then will maybe never get published, and maybe some news items through the following years about investigations into their crimes, and drippings of news about their shenanigans in order to diminish their influence and take away their supporters, but nothing really big, like those arrests and them actually ending in jail.

This is not after all fiction. We live in the real world, and in the real world realpolitik is unfortunately something that has to be taken seriously if you want things to keep on working. So while I am hoping to see at least some arrests, I will not be too surprised if we don't get all that many of them.
