STRING THEM UP!!!!!!! [View all]

that's right. The constitution describes treason as a capital offense.

Colluding with a foreign, adversarial government to undermine our most sacred national value, free and fair elections, is high treason.

This is serious and should be treated as such. The evidence is clear that contacts were made with Russian operatives during the election, that Russia hacked a candidate's emails and that of her party. That those hacks directly affected the outcome of the election. That Trump's campaign operatives had numerous illicit contacts with major governmental figures in the Kremlin.

So, to all my Conservative friends who believe in "Original Intent" of the Founding Fathers, here's their original intent for such a crime:

STRING THEM UP!!!!!

Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution:

Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
