    Based on recent and not so recent US history, they won’t face any consequences. Trump was eventually charged over Jan 6th but not for outright treason, only conspiracy charges. And that was only after Garland slow-walked each investigation until it was too late.

    The civil war traitors were never brought to trial, and politicians allowed the South to continue treating freed slaves as sub-human for more than a century.

    Nothing will fundamentally change until the rich and powerful are in fear of their lives.
