Given the stated renewed commitment to the "Rule of Law" by the new US President:
Will we see any serious investigations into conduct of the previous Administration?
And; if so, will there be any actual trials?

Flat Earth Q&A / Geometric Measurements

C = pi r                                             
 FE     A= pi rsq    
RE    A=  4pi rsq     or pi dsq

RE Model   r =  3963.20 mi. ;    d =   7,926.40033 mi.;  c = 24,901.50000 mi.;   a=   197,379,257.91836 sq mi.
    1/2 c =12450.75 mi = distance N Pole to S Pole; 1 Deg Lat =69.170833 mi.; 1 Deg Long = 0 @ 90 N & S
    1 Deg Long = 69.170833 mi. @ 0 (Equator).

FE Model    r =12450.75 mi. ;   d = 24,901.50 mi. ; c = 78,230.30339 mi. ;   a= 487,012,974.93539 sq mi.
   1 deg Lat = 138.34166 mi.;  1 deg Long = 0 @ 0 N and 1 deg Long  = 217.306398305 mi. @ 90 S    ( Diskedge)
   The Sun (d = 32 mi) describes a circular path centered along Equator @ 45 deg S of c =  39,115. 15169 mi. w/ d = 12,450.75 m. @ 12.5 deg seasonal deflection of Light Cone w/ d = 10,732.5 mi.
   

   So, the surface area of FE is greater than that of RE by a factor of almost 2,5. Longitudinal lines are convergent @  0 degrees N and  diverge by 217.306398305 mi @ the Edge of the disk. Hence travel distance between points @ 0 degrees E and 90 W at 60 S/ 60 N (RE ) Lat  ( 6,519.191634591 mi. as c = 26076.766538364 mi.  ) is much further than between 0E and 90 W at 30 S/ 60 N (RE) Lat  (3259.595817295 mi. as c = 13038.383269182 mi.)  on RE that distance is 1629.797979333 mi. as RE c = 6,519.191917334 mi. @ both 60 N &60 S
    The furthest continental point S is Tierra del Fuego  located @ 56 deg S ( RE ) = 73,5 deg S ( FE ); this is 10,168.11201 mi. from the N pole and 2,282.63739 mi. from the Diskedge @ 90 Deg S.
    The N most point of land ID’d as contiguous  S Mass is @ 61 deg S /76.5 deg S FE  w/ an avg. of 70 deg S / 80 deg S FE as a continuous shoreline. Less than 899.22079 mi. separate this SLM from TdF.  
   So, on avg. the frozen shore is 1,383.4166 mi. from the Diskedge, with an avg. shoreline ( c ) = or >9,960.599590 mi. and an avg. area = 58,441,556.9922468 sq. mi. making it the largest contiguous land mass on FE.
   Since total  Land mass is est. @ 30% = 146,103,892.480617 sq mi. This leaves 87,662,335.4883702 sq.  mi. for continents on FE  comp. to only 53,201,271.570056 sq. mi. on R.

                I've drawn a model of these differences, but don't know how to post it.

   The Flat Earth is a much larger and stranger world than the Global (Round) Earth
