There must a site. Can anyone direct me to it? All I need are a list of names that will grow as new people come under scrutiny. For instance the as yet unnamed but likely to be soon outed Republican "operative" guilty of receiving and distributing stolen Democratic files. Then a listing of the crimes they have likely committed--or at least the crimes they would be charged with if they were Democrats. Plus the mandatory minimum through maximum federal sentences for each crime.
For example:
Jeff Sessions, former Senator and current Attorney General. Almost certainly guilty of lying to Congress and on a federal employment form--unless he plans to lead senility which makes him unfit for his present job. Each charge carries a federal sentence of up to five years. That means he would be looking at up to ten years in federal pen if he were a Democrat.
Bonus points for including some type of graphic so we can tell at a glance which players will be old and gray when they get out---if they were Democrats. Since the GOP will stonewall any investigation, it will also serve to demonstrate the magnitude of their cover up and abuse of power in advance of the 2018 midterms. As in "If they were Democrats they would be facing a total of X years in jail."

The retrospective is interesting, with so many antecedent actions that fit the obstruction pattern. All the perjury, lying, omissions of fact under oath, the attempts to manipulate p[eople to address the media, all are chargeable now that Trump made his public admission of obstructing the investigation.
And now this, with the handwriting on the wall that Trump is going down, Flynn wants to sing, sing, sing:
