    Thankfully (or maybe unfortunately is a better word for it), they’ve done a lot more illegal things than treason.

    I think democrats have more than enough things to prosecute them on if they want to. Real question is if democratic LEADERSHIP wants that.

      All depends if they are going to still sit on the hypothetical moral throne again. Thats why nothing gets done with the party, they go off a “well that happened but we can’t stoop to their level” style policy, so with every step forward its 15 steps back.

      Personally I hope they do hard focus it but, I also hope it doesn’t become the running headline for their next cycle they get in, as they need to fix the fundamental issues with the system that allowed this first since a trial like that prosecution will easily last more than the length of a single term.
