I decided to split this out into its own thread, since it seems to be growing in importance...

Powerful article.

 

[GrayTide]

Yikes, it is definitely a powerful article. I don't know, legally, if it rises to treason, but I damn sure believe it is certainly conspiracy against the United States. I am still of the opinion that until the Republicans turn on him he is not going to be in any real trouble. It will be up to the American voters to run him off.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Legally, it's not treason, nor is he a traitor, technically. However, he is deeply corrupt and amoral...

 

[crimsonaudio]

If this turns out to be true, I hope he hangs for it.

Not even joking.

 

[JDCrimson]

Whether it's in January or 4 more years, my prediction is he will have seek asylum in another country. As a civilian in the US, the level of surveillance he and his family will be immense and warranted.

As I said in another thread, no one has ever been executed for treason in the history of the country and this doesn't rise to the definition of treason in the constitution and statutes...

I've thought this several times. Next year, he may be tweeting from Moscow...

Doesn't mean I can't hope for it if it's proved true.

I doubt he ever spends a night in prison for anything, so keep in mind I don't see it happening.

But if he did sweep this under the rug, then screw 'em. Hang him high.

So....Nothing new for this jerk....

I'm not sure you're understanding. Even if he did know and continue to be a booster of Putin, it's not treason. In fact, it's doubtful it's even a crime...

I fully understand - I'm simply stating I hope somehow they kill him if he's found guilty of this.

As unlikely as that might be (I get it), I can still hope for it happening somehow if he truly sold out our armed forces like this.

I think maybe you're taking my angry response too literally.

He betrayed our troops deployed in a war zone. Maybe he can't be convicted of that, but he can't be allowed to continue in the role of Commander in Chief of said military, either.

Obviously, I agree with your opinion. However, the only way to remove him as CiC is to remove him as president...

 

[JDCrimson]

Capone was found guilty of tax evasion and mail fraud as a substitute for all the other litany of crimes that could not be proven...

Actually, that's what I expect to happen with the Trumps, after he leaves office...

We all respect your understanding of the law. America will be so much better off when this guy is put in our rear view mirror.
