I can't think of any type of contest in which those who win only by cheating are considered the "real" or "official" or "LEGITIMATE" winners. They are publicly stripped of any medals, crowns or other indicia of triumph. If one is tried, convicted and sentenced by someone who was not a real, official, legitimate judge, the sentence would be vacated and all of the "judge's" rulings would be considered nullities.

"IF"--------Trump was "elected" with the help of Putin and assorted GOP criminals, why should any of his "official" acts---most certainly including his judicial appointments--- be allowed to stand without full reconsideration by a new Congress and an AMERICAN president?

To say that the law does not authorize the above should not be the end if the matter. The law has never considered the legitimacy or illegitimacy of judges appointed by a mentally ill traitor.
