‘There is no other word for it’: Former Bush ethics czar says FBI uncovering evidence of ‘treason’


The former ethics lawyer for George W. Bush believes the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia has uncovered evidence of treason.


Richard Painter, who joined a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s foreign business ties, tweeted a link late Wednesday to a McClatchy report on a federal investigation into whether U.S. right-wing websites coordinated with Russian operatives to attack Hillary Clinton.
“(The) FBI uncovering evidence of treason,” Painter said. “There is no other word for it.”

This is coming from a republican but is this considered "fake news"?

They've been saying this for months, but never provide any factual information. It's getting boring.

Meh..... Never heard of Richard Painter. But he has filed suit against Trump and stated that Sessions "cannot continue", encouraged Queen Elizabeth to file libel suit. The guy is all over the place. He gets one vote just like me.

The fact that he is a Republican is counterbalanced by the myriad Trumpocrats who supported and voted for Trump.
'Bout a million of them to 1 Painter, I'd guess.

You're right. GWBush and ethics together in one sentence is an oxymoron.

Russia has been meddling in our elections for years, but the 2016 effort was quite sophisticated. The Russian's intent was and always will be to delegitimize our democracy, our elections, and our duly elected President. Vladimir certainly accomplished that this election cycle and beyond, with no small amount of assistance from the Democrat Party, the Establishment politicians, and the MSM. Shame on them!

Let's stop this nonsense of Trump colluding with the Russians. After a long investigation, the report, “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election”, makes NO claims of collusion.

It's only "fake news" to those conservos who have fake brains.

There are more than handful like that.

People have been steeped in calling wolf for so long they don't know this might be the real wolf. People have been hearing for years that Hillary or Obama were going to be arrested , impeached put or locked up that they think that Trumps ordeal will end the same way.
