  1. No, that would help Russia. Send them to Venus on a surface colony.

  2. We're a wee bit funny in the US, before we put people in prison, we do that trial thing and if he just plead guilty, that means that the trial has nearly completed. Once sentencing is imposed, the trial is then completed.

  3. That's 9206250 pounds or 4603.125 tons. Better pack some really big pants and super big pockets.

  5.  @elizabethreed3358  well, let's try critical thought. One's talking about stealing 4603.125 tons of gold. Hell, if it was that much in goldfish, it's still a wee bit of mass to stuff inside of one's pockets. A semi trailer carries around 40 tons. That's one hell of a fleet of trucks to sneak in and out. 115, to be precise and a small amount would be left over. Meanwhile, trying to sell it off would depress the value of gold.

  6. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: 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. Now, we have no enemies, since Congress hasn't declared war since WWII. That leaves levying war against the US, when did he pick up a gun and wage war against the US and where are your two witnesses to the overt act of doing so? No? I guess we're stuck prosecuting him for his actual crimes then. He'll likely serve more time for them than for treason, given treason gets five years and up to execution, plus a fine and property attainder. 18 U.S.C § 2381 , states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
