After the 2016 election, a group of leftist Hollywood actors created a video, urging members of the Electoral College not to vote for Trump, despite that fact that he won the election. Considering the precedents set by the Trump indictment, it is reasonable to question when these individuals will be prosecuted.
Based on the latest Trump indictment and the precedent it set, when will these people be prosecuted?
Isn’t this denial of the peaceful transfer of power?
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Here’s the rewritten sentence:

Celebrities are urging the Electoral College not to vote for Trump
As part of a last-ditch effort to block Donald Trump from becoming the next US president, a host of celebrities appear in a PSA encouraging members of the Electoral College not to cast their vote for the president-elect.
“The West Wing” star Martin Sheen starts the Unite for America-sponsored pitch to the Republican members of the Electoral College.
“As you know, our founding fathers built the Electoral College to safeguard the American people from the dangers of a demagogue and to ensure that the presidency only goes to someone who is ‘to an eminent degree endowed with the requesite qualifications,’” Sheen said, quoting the Federalist Papers, a collection of essays by America’s founding fathers from 1787 that both urge the ratification of the Constitution and explain its various parts.
Sheen is joined by several other celebrities, including “West Wing” costar Richard Schiff, “Will & Grace” actress Debra Messing, “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk, “ER” star Noah Wyle, and “Oz” alum B.D. Wong in explaining how the electors are able to vote for any eligible person who’s fit to serve as president, despite the results of the election.
