The spy couldn’t exactly remember she had booked a tour with the United Nations Chinese Friendship Association (UNCFA).

The spy was convicted and served 8 months in prison then got deported to Beijing.

Still, the spy, Mrs. Turtle and Moscow Mitch are shady as hell.

If it's so sensitive why let him have it at all, why not take the moment they found out about it?

6. Think what would happen if you or I had these kind of documents in our basement.

Sure the FBI would just talk to our attorneys and ask for them back nicely.

And then let us sit on them for over a year.

You and I would be sitting right now in a federal penitentiary if we were lucky.

If not lucky, being waterboarded at Gitmo.

7. But one thing I've learned on DU after cavalierly tossing around the word "treason" a few times

Even if he sold top secrets to Russia and China and North Korea and we have video to prove it....Trump would NOT be guilty of treason.

I've also learned that Trump's loud mouth seems to be enough to net him unmitigated favoritism. WHY IS EVERYONE SO DAMNED AFRAID OF THIS MAN?
