1. Lock him up!

At least fire his ass... no? A suspension... slap on the wrist, some semi-furious finger wagging? Oh, I see, Trump will give him pardon in advance and then promote him to a cabinet position to gut some agency he knows nothing about... OK, that's the new norm, ain't it?

2. K & R for exposure.

3. No one ever pays for violating the Hatch Act

Never heard of anyone that paid a price for violating the Hatch Act.
