Real test for the U.S. on what do with trump, if it's treason doesn't that mean death penalty? Or would they haul him off to Colorado Supermax prison. As well what about his buddies and enablers, surely they don't get off with a warning.

Trump isn’t going to be charged with treason. It’s not one of the charges the J6 committee recommended, and it’s unlikely to apply in this circumstance. (But treason doesn’t have to be punished by death.)

They'll pardon him. If not now then they'll drag it out until the next republican president can. Nothing will ever stick because it would be a bad look for them.

It may not be a bad idea. He’s the kind of person who would take the whole ship down with him. Sure, you might think that’s a good thing. But…it could be very bad.

We're not going to get a clean ship by letting dirty people go free.

Reddit not looking at the big picture on par. Most have never experienced few are within a generation. This is not mutiny of the people it’s the captain sinking the ship and taking everyone with him.

Because pardoning a president who committed treason is "looking at the big picture" lmao.

No, because your slab of meat isn’t free. The dude stole national secrets for god’s sake.

No, Treason doesn't equal death penalty. Only in time of war, and only as an option.

Espionage is the offense. Because treason and it’s definition apparently doesn’t fit.
