I want to see him spend is final years in an orange jumpsuit...perhaps in a facility that would have been Arpaio-approved. Misery all day, every day.

I honestly believe that, not only does he deserve that and more, but that it would have a deterrent effect for future miscreants. If they know going in that there are no dire consequences coming their way, there is very little to keep them from going the Drumpf route...or even worse, if they can somehow find away to accomplish that.
