    “It’s a simple statute,” Raiklin said. “This is treason. Yeah, absolutely, and I would like to see at the end of the due process, lawful capital punishment.”

    A constitutional lawyer who doesn’t understand the “simple statute” of treason nor the fact that treason isn’t a statute at all and is actually defined under Article III of the Constitution. Yes, that’s very MAGA.

    O’Sullivan asked whether he would be disappointed if no one has been executed for treason by next year, and Raiklin suggested the CNN correspondent might be among those targeted for prosecution.

    “I think the nation will be furious,” Raiklin said. “I’m not sure yet if you are or are not on the deep state target list, because I haven’t consumed all of the information that you’ve put forth to determine what your status should be.”

    Fascists fucks. I couldn’t be a reporter. I’d punch this dude and get killed or sent to El Salvador for saying that shit about American Citizens.
