All 50+ should hang. Let him pay for the crime of treason. I would not regret being on the the permanent firing squad for him and his ilk.

Political buffoonery doesn’t fit the Constitutional definition of treason.
“...

According to Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted
...”

The Founding Fathers purposely made the charge of treason difficult to make. The knew if it was easy it would be used to squash political dissent!
