Trump could face death penalty

Although the media and politicians aren't saying it, under the law if Trump is found guilty of sedition or treason he would liable for a death penalty. Here's how Google puts it:

Speaking in a way that would encourage others to take up arms against the government is sedition. Anyone who actually carries out or participates in such plans (or helps those who do) is committing treason.

Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death, or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.

And if he is not convicted of treason, at least get him for perjury.

Five years in prison and over $10,000 in fines sounds just about perfect for trump.
