1. Everyone involved should be charged with Treason

Aiding, conspiring, obstructing justice..
Start with treason & let the attorneys fight for lesser charges for their pathetic clients.

Conspiracy to overthrow the US Govt can't be too far a stretch.
Trump & his kids, Ryan, McConnell, FOX NEWS, Mercer, ...its a long list.

Those in Congress who aided, conspired, obstructed, whether by blackmail or whatever.
No Mercy for any of them.

And in the end, squeeze Putin into a box so tight that the Russian citizens finally can free themselves of the power that stole the national treasure from its own people to enrich himself.


Oh ya, in the name of Heather Heyer, that list includes Steve Bannon too.

Why is he turning on Trump now?
Is this his mea culpa to save his own skin from Mueller's pending indictment on that flabby Nazi?
He & Mercer & Breitbart did an incredible amount of damage to divide this country.

He was part of it all.
No mercy for Bannon no matter what he reveals about Trump at this point.
He can't ever "come clean" enough.

8. Maybe if they really nail them

Maybe if the hammer of justice really comes down hard on Republicans and their leadership (Trump. Pence, McConnell, Ryan, Mercer, and many more) and they lose bigly in 2018 and 2020, it will be a wake-up call to their party and we can have a Republican Party that welcomes smart people and can give honest opposition instead of relying on propaganda and lies and only welcoming the most extreme right wingers – sort of like how they were in the 1950s under Eisenhower. Otherwise, we’ll just get the next Nixon (Watergate), Reagan (IranContra) or Bush (Iraq War based on lies) when Republicans win again.

10. Sedition, Not Treason

Not wartime, and Russia is not officially an enemy, just a competitor.

However, willfully subverting the democratic processes is sedition.

They will never be convicted on treason charges, but sedition. . . .?

[Wwcd]

11. Sedition it is then. What's the penalty?

Can it be death row?
Their decisions killed off a lot of good people, while they all moved their profits off shore.
Dirty crooked s.o.b's

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Don't Do Death Penalty

But, Guantanamo seems appropriate, with an indefinite term. Meaning forever!

14. According to US Code, up to 20 years and a fine.

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

15. 20 Years? That's all? Trump will be 90+. He could still be around to do damage.

Trump kids are young enough to walk outta prison & start a new dictator regime somewhere again.

Only 20 yrs.

[druidity33]

17. 20 years per charge? multiple charges? nt.

[Wwcd]

19. Yes! Imagine the docs on all those charges. Files upon files

3. The Reich Wing is entirely comprised of Putin boot-licking traitors.

4. Do we still execute traitors by firing squad?

If so, I'LL VOLUNTEER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. After seeing the results of

Russian meddling, Putin is WARNING the US not to interfere with the elections in Russia. I expect the brave young man who tried to contest Putin will be poisoned, or thrown from a balcony in short order. Donnie Two Scoops only wishes he had the authority to mirror Putin.

[KrazyinKS]

6. Yes but will he be convicted

How much of what he has done is illegal. I mean is it illegal to spread misinformation? Is it illegal to ignore Trump and the fact he has probably been laundering Russian money for years. I mean they have to know, they just ignore it. Is that illegal?

[Ilsa]

7. Lock them all up with Robert Hanssen.

Maximum security. They are eligible for assisted suicide after 10 years.
Asset forfeiture.

9. Like I said to my GF when all of this started...

at the end of the day, we will find out that all of this is systemic throughout the republican party and their kool-aid drinking supporters.

and here we are.
