We gotta break the seal. It has to be jail. He tried to kill the vice president, he stole classified documents and got dozens of CIA assets killed, he explicitly sides with the enemies of the US and against the American people. He wants to shoot protestors and have the military seize the voting machines.
I understand the reluctance. This particular thing, as weird as it is, wasn't actually all that bad. But you gotta break the seal. It's like when you're leaving an abusive partner; the idea of really pulling the trigger is terrifying, because what's gonna happen? And there's no going back. But we have to.
