GOP challenger Bill Weld: Trump committed treason and 'the penalty for treason ... is death'
CNN Politics ^ | September 23, 2019 | Paul LeBlanc

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."

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.

It’s sad that Bill Weld has gone from RINO to dementia in the space of a few days.

Ted Kennedy should have been executed several times. John Hanoi kerry met with the North Vietnamese 3-4 times. Lots of demonicrats should go down if this guy is right.

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.

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.

1990.

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.
