I want him to get no pension, nothing.

and I want him it to be impossible for him to be employed in any kind of law enforcement or security.

Just an observation....

This whole thing sounds like a PBS Masterpiece Theater presentation about some Palace intrigue before the French Revolution.

I never liked those shows.

This one? I guess I will withhold judgement until the second Act.

At least they should have to spend their own money in their defense just like Manafort and Flynn had to.

He probably has a bunch of accrued leave which will tide him over with pay until he can officially retire.

So, is he playing the role of the guy who just realized the coup is not going to happen, and his love of country will have him come clean on the co conspirators?

Here is a tip: If that is the case-—the only difference is a slow death vs a quick one.
