during the 1968 campaign promising them that he would negotiate an end to the war suitable to them if they refused to agree to end the war with then President Johnson. The delay in the war end caused over 20,000 American deaths.

...then Pense should resign, Trump should name Hillary as VP, and then Trump resigns, and Hillary pardons Trump.

Simple, huh?

Still too early to ascertain what laws, if any, were broken

Punishment is dependent on the crime.

I don't think treason is on the table as I'm uncertain whether Russia would be considered an enemy, which forms the basis of a charge of treason.

But the idea of offering Trump a cigarette before blindfolding him and firing away is oddly appealing.

That's how these guys roll. What will be interesting is the Democrat's response if it plays out this way.
