First of all, not necessarily. What they want and what they get are
two different things.
Second, I wish they would spend their time and energy and our money to
fix what is wrong before they deal with those whom they deem
responsible. Once they have put the regulations back in place to
restore the economy, made sure that the laid off workers are rehired
or have new jobs, stopped the mortgage crisis, brought back those jobs
that went overseas; when they have ended the war in Iraq, made sure
that every American has health insurance, closed Guantanamo, weaned
the US from oil use, and solved global warming then they can get with
this other business. This is what pretty much what they've promised,
isn't it? How long do you think this might take?

The government ought to work on both simultaneously. They are largely unrelated tasks. There are not, and ought not be, any preconditions of a political nature on the administration of justice.
We have now reached a point where the rule of law appears to have been seriously undermined. If we are to put our house back in order, it is essential that we reestablish the fundamental principles that, first, no one is above or beyond the reach of our laws, and, second, that there are meaningful legal restraints on governmental, and especially executive, powers. To do this, we must hold accountable in our courts those who are directly responsible for the most egregious violations of our laws and abuses of their proper authority.
This will be painful, but also cathartic. If we fail to this, we are guilty of perpetuating these wrongs, and of further undermining our Republic. The incoming administration doesn't have any other choice, for it is their sworn and sacred duty to protect and defend our Constitution, which, having recently been so badly abused, must now be set aright.
