John Kerry is stepping down as the president’s special envoy for climate this spring, according to two people familiar with the decision.

By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam Warshould be stopped.
John F’n Kerry won awards in the military for killing VC during the Vietnam War. Questioned about this, his shipmates said all three VC killed by Kerry were teenagers, running away, before Kerry shot them in the back.
Can we still try him for treason during the VN war re his several visits to the North Vietnamese and or their front, the PRG in Paris to illegally negotiate with them?
