29. What about no punishment if he resigns?

I've heard that bandied about, although all agree Trump would not go for it.

I'm thoroughly sick of this 'all is forgiven once you're out of power' nonsense. If anyone must suffer consequences, it is Trump.

He was placed in the office by the Russians, he has given them American secrets, and he has acted on their behalf in all of his foreign policy decisions.

It really doesn't get any worse than that.
