If they are guilty of crimes, try them and convict them.

If they supported Clinton for non criminal reasons, just shun them the rest of their lives.

The Cherokees did this, and it was probably a worse fate than death.

Once in a while a Cherokee (usually a male) would become so wrong-headed and incorrigible as to be labeled a “rogue”. After many tries to make the person reform, if there was not a return to acceptable behavior, he (or she) could be put ‘out’ of the clan.

After that shame, which left them vulnerable to any insult or adverse behavior without recourse, because they would have no claim affiliation and thus no relatives, the ‘rogue’ usually left all villages and lived alone in the woods. Having been made a ‘non-
person’ was the ultimate fear of an adult Cherokee, and was the ultimate consequence, just short of being condemned to immediate death. “Shunning” was the ultimate living insult, and sometimes the shunned person would commit suicide rather than live with such shame.

This is why I’m not so interested in seeing any of the three Clintons go to jail. I want to see ALL of their assets and most of any future income seized for the rest of their lives—and no more SS protection.

All democrats should suffer a similar fate...even family members.
