In the unlikely-unless-state-prosecutors-are-equally-vindictive-and-stupid event that this goes...anywhere...it would be litigation rather than legislation. The law exists and this isn't likely to be subject to it.
I do appreciate the sentiment, though.

Years ago, Sheila asked me if I could figure out how to save a Bing wallpaper because there was no save option when right-clicked. I'm not particularly computer savvy but I did some searching and found the image URL in the page source, copied that into the header and boom, there it was available to download. (It turns out it was also available to download in Bing's wallpaper gallery, but I wasn't aware of that at the time.) By Parson's logic (this doesn't feel like the appropriate word), I'm apparently a hacker.
This made me laugh:

I respect Mike Masnick. I think he's a smart guy and I get where he's coming from here, but I don't think he grasps the state of American politics right now.
There's basically no way this situation doesn't escalate.
I want Democrats to be as effective as Republicans without being as deceitful.

For the current crop of Democrats? Not ****ing remotely. It's likely not possible at all; Republicans are effective due in no insignificant part to their deceit. It's still a desire, however irrational it may be. I mean...I'd also like to see an end to violence based on religious or political belief.
I'd settle for Democrats who have a spine and some claws without dependence on deceit.

Whenever Trump departs this mortal plane I sincerely hope the fake noos media refers to this document, the better to convey his stated wishes to a no doubt interested public.
Powell may have been the first to attack other Republicans but it's notable to see that The Donald has bravely opted to not only continue the tradition but extend it to the recently deceased.
In doing so he exhibits a level of class, tact and decorum that's long been associated with the former president.

"He was a classic RINO"
Now I can't laud Colin Powell as though it's easy or automatic but of the things I do know about him, being a RINO seems to be "someone with a spine and a moderate moral compass and temperament who can actually look at differing points of view".
But Powell called Trump a "national disgrace" and "a man with no shame" so obviously it's well worth waiting until he's dead to kick him.

This stuck out at me:
"The House is expected to vote today on the resolution to hold Bannon in contempt. And while it's likely to pass and be referred to the Justice Department, House GOP leadership has urged all Republican members vote ‘no' on the contempt resolution. "
This is not a partisan issue. This is a straight vote on whether someone can ignore a subpoena from congress. Again, it is fundamentally at odds with the structure of government of the US to vote that Bannon is not in contempt. It's infuriating that republicans are willing to put party, no, Trump, ahead of the country... repeatedly.
