Former Massachusetts governor and longshot candidate for the GOP nomination for president Bill Weld on Monday accused President Donald Trump of "treason" for pressing Ukraine's President to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and stated bluntly "the penalty for treason under the US code is death."
"Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a US election, it couldn't be clearer," Weld said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "And that's not just undermining democratic institutions, that is treason. It's treason pure and simple."
"The penalty for treason under the US code is death. That's the only penalty," Weld added. "The penalty under the Constitution is removal from office and that might look like a pretty good alternative to the President if he could work out a plea deal."

Somebody: Make it stop!!!
Obama told Medyevev or whatever his name was that he would be “More flexible” with Russia after the election..Obama also ordered Ukraine to dig up dirt on Manafort and Trump..so does that mean that Obama gets the death penalty too just asking
All this crap about people “controlling a US election” is pure nonsense.
Hitting the bottle again, I see.
It’s sad that Bill Weld has gone from RINO to dementia in the space of a few days.
Have another drink, Bill.
You’re on the list, Bill. You’re not very important but you’re on it.
Secret Service needs to take this drunken Derp State Communist twat into custody ASAFP.
Who IS this nutcase?
Trump needs to keep him harping on the penalty for treason. Might make some Dems squirm.
Didn’t know we were at war with Ukraine, or that Biden’s son’s crooked deals were synonymous with America... or whatever the hell they’re trying to say.
Off your meds again, Bill?!?
Sounds like Bill’s mind has become unwelded.
Think so, I’m against violence but I’m for justice so a public hanging for Weld and his lying BS here, get a rope.
Weld should be arrested and charged sedition.
Mark Levin gave US a lowdown on this guy
The real treason was the “whistle blower” was actually a spy monitoring President Trump’s phone calls and leaking a false representation of what was said.
I held a sign for Bill Weld at a busy intersection in Melrose, MA when he was running against John Silber for governor of Massachusetts.
I am so ashamed of that now.
