10. People need to go to jail over this.

The reason these people were empowered to do these things is Nixon being pardoned and many Reagan staffers being pardoned. Enough of this policy that the white house can break the law and not pay the consequences. If we let these people go free, it will happen again only on a larger scale. Enough is enough.

Will we tarnish our country's reputation by jailing a president and his staff? I'll take my chances. I submit that we will tarnish said reputation by letting them go free.
