Kushner and Flynn Could Be Guilty of a Capital Crime

Under federal law, "espionage" is a capital offense and if found guilty, those convicted of espionage could face the death penalty.

"Espionage" is defined as the crime of spying on the federal government and/or transferring state secrets on behalf of a foreign country. (If the other country is an enemy, espionage may be treason, which involves aiding an enemy.) The term applies particularly to the act of collecting military, industrial, and political data about one nation for the benefit of another."

Rumors are that Mueller has the evidence to charge both Flynn and Kushner with espionage. This is why Flynn is totally cooperating. He is Mueller's bitch now and will do what he is told.

Not sure how Ivanka feels about her hubby facing a choice of either being charged with a capital crime or flipping on her daddy and sending him to jail (or at least out of the White House).

Stay tuned. This could get interesting.

It's not going to be considered for Flynn or Kushner.

I'd be perfectly fine with the two of them being sentenced to 25 years in federal prison and being ordered to forfeit all their assets to the government.

and i don't think any need to be written. mueller has, I believe, plenty enough evidence from campaign team members to bring down drumpf, pence, don jr and kushner, at the very least. hopefully eric/ivanka somehow too. No deals for them. I want them all to serve life in prison for what they have done to our country.
