You keep using that word. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Please refer to Article III, Section 3, Clause 1, U.S. Constitution:

Obviously, given the definition of the word "treason" as set forth in the Constitution, the United States must be in a state of war, and a person must either directly levy war against the U.S., or adhere to or render aid and comfort to the enemies of the U.S. during said conflict, in order to be guilty of that offense.

As no state of war exists between the United States and the Russian Federation, no charge of treason may be brought, at least in this particular case.



















Didja ever notice how, for some people, every little transgression amounts to "treason?" It happens all the time nowadays, and it's getting a tad comical, even if it's causing the word to lose any semblance of meaning.

"That joker didn't signal before changing lanes! He's guilty of treason! He should be in Leavenworth!"

"I hate those treasonous people who failed to RSVP for Little Willoughdene's third birthday party! They should be strung up for the enemies of the state that they are!"

"Look, Tillie! That woman over there is eating her salad with her oyster fork! She should be brought up on charges of treason! Where are my tar and feathers?"

Exactly. It makes no difference if it is true or not. It's whether people to believe it or not.

Trump followers believe he's being framed.

Everyone else is coming to the conclusion he's a Russian stooge.

If you want to wear the red hat, I see where you can get them with MAGA in Russian.
I feel like I'm losing my rational mind when watch Conway and Guliani. I have never seen somebody so skilled at propaganda . It's like watching Phelps swim or LeBron James win a championship. She could convince an Eskimo to vote against ice. It's amazing to watch.

Default DNC hackers were paid by Trump team as well as Russia?

Allegedly, his lawyers met with Kremlin contacts to work out ways to pay hackers.

Yes, I am engaging in a little hyperbole. Your powers of observation are super. Shoot me.

Seems a bit over the top.

Treason talk will come when Trump starts pushing for lifting the sanctions. You know it's coming.

Doubtful. I think the 45 page memo thing is a bunch of false information to cover up actual occurrences. Common propaganda technique.

If that's true it can be verified. If it isn't verified by end of this week it is all BS

Strike two would be the GOP wanting to keep control of things and also lock up 2020. They do not want the American people to turn against them in large enough numbers to put a Dem or Lib back in the WH. We all know Trump had help winning by the apathy of Democratic voters.........we thought we had it in the bag, so tons of us never showed up to vote. Now that we have had our butts kicked, that will never happen in 2020........EVERYONE will be voting then.

Things are going to get very interesting here in the near future.
I agree 100 percent . Apathy crushed the left. That won't happen in 2018. No way the Republicans weaken the executive branch

So, we're saying that either Russia has some dirt on Trump, or that 4chan kiddies fooled the FBI, the CIA, and John McCain.

Either way, this is a cracking good story.

And believable, because Trump.
