Anyone else in who had done this would have had, at the very least, their security revoked (probably lifetime revocation).

Jail time. No question. I know how serious they take this, or used to.

The states have the authority to impose a lifetime revocation of the right to have electors pledged to vote for - anyone, for any reason:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress
With that plenary power, a state legislature could if it wished name the electors directly without even conducting a presidential election. Certainly a state legislature could enact a civil cause of action whereby any opponent could sue to prevent a candidate from being on the ballot for specified causes.

The trouble with making security violations such a cause is that the sitting POTUS controls any such determination. But of course the people of the state have no such limitation; they can throw the bum out.

Ideally Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the purple states generally would pass a law enforcing

Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
The honoraria paid by foreign governments to WJC, and the contributions by foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation, are thinly veiled payments to HRC. But "of any kind whatever" implies that money laundering should be ignored. Even if the Clinton Foundation were to cure Alzheimers and all the funds were certifiably legitimately charitable, acceptance of foreign government money by an organization of which HRC was a principal while HRC was working on the federal dime was strictly out of bounds (absent a congressional act authorizing it).

The purple states could pass a law against putting a violator of the anticorruption stricture above on the ballot - and that would end HRC's presidential hopes immediately. It would not require action by more than a handful of states to accomplish this.
