Regarding the money quote, which, for all its glaring apparent innecessity, shows, I believe, Qerri to be attempting to make himself eligible for Senator and President when he otherwise was not. To have served for more than a decade while knowingly not been eligible must have a legal and dramatically negative consequence, even if this 2001 maneuver could be seen to fix it for activities after that date. My best guess is that among those 100 or so unreleased naval records is the statement that Kerry "gave aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese in time of war."

Knowingly hiding facts which would show you're ineligible to be a Senator or President, in of itself must be crime if not a felony. Qerri had served as a senator for more than two terms by this time. Let Jean serve time, just not in the Oval Office.

Of course, "collaborating with the Viet Cong" will do nicely in its place.
