You seemingly have no idea about the actual work that needs to be performed by investigators, prosecutors, and judges - all bona fide skilled professions! And then based on that ignorance you blast me for not having done all of that work in a order to write a message board comment.
I don't know what you mean by "take this to politician place". The topic is inherently political. We're talking about an apparent conspiracy to overthrow the Constitutional United States Government and replace it with unaccountable corporate government, spearheaded by the reactionaries in office working from the inside to paralyze and demolish the Constitutional government.
That behavior is most certainly in the realm of criminality, despite there not being a law that directly states it. Rather it's the kind of thing that needs to be decomposed into specific chargeable crimes by prosecutors, after having been investigated for the extent of communications, agreements, etc that effect the conspiracy. And then judges make an actual decision which intrinsically creates new precedents (ie common law) because these type of things don't happen every day.

Well, you wrote this, didn’t you?
>> This regime have flagrantly violated their oaths of office, outright ignoring their Constitutional roles and instead acting in bad faith to achieve their own personal/political goals.
You turned a simple question about what crimes were committed and convicted by tech leaders that deserved prison and decided to loop in a diatribe against the current administration. You apparently have an axe there you want to grind. So be it, but perhaps grind away on another thread appropriate to that topic.

So…your answer is “no, they have not committed a crime for which they can be put in prison, but you really hope that some prosecutors and judges can get together to invent some way to parse legal behavior you disagree with into creating a precedent that can bypass congress’s responsibility to make law”. Good to know.
It is shit like this that make people like you fucking scare the shit out of me…way more than some tech bro training AI on copyrighted material (And to put that in perspective, I am one of those people who think AI is probably gonna eventually kill us).
You keep playing coy as to the actual arguments being made. If you look at only one piece of a three piece whole, of course it looks incomplete. The entire point is that the big picture sure looks like these tech ceo's are conspiring to overthrow the Constitutional government. The topic for this thread, right here, is an action that fits the pattern.

Uh, no, unequivocally. You're putting words in my mouth, of a hypberbolic straw man that you have created. As I said, you seem to be utterly ignorant about what is required for the legal system to actually operate - it's not a computer programming language. I suspect you know this, but it's just yet another thing you're playing coy about.
If I am misunderstanding what you are talking about, then that is more about your inability to successfully communicate than any problem I have.
