Back on topic, the only reason anyone would consider this a reign of terror is that they are afraid of being exposed in their corruption, sedition, or traitorous activity against the United States. If this was a country which treated those who have performed a coup attempt like the 'socialist paradises' these people embrace, the dead would litter the Capitol and elsewhere like the Clintons were in power. Considering their preferred alternatives to the rule of law, perhaps they have applied that model and are afraid for that reason. While I think many have earned a place at the scaffold, they should be tried in a court of law and, if convicted, sentenced appropriately as that law prescribes. Maybe they would succeed in not committing suicide like Epstein didn't.
