I see and agree , at least in part, with your point. The only counterpoint I can make is that with her having just lost the election, and some of the comments that Trump made in the debates ("You'd be in jail."), it may very much look like the persecution of political rivals, and regardless of how true or not that is, it might lead to mass protests, and major issues.
The Clintons might be too big to be jailed.... but if they are, stick their asses in gen pop, so that they can feel the ass raping that we have all been getting for years.
