Trump treason?

Here we go.

It's all beginning to make sense. Trump's attack on the intelligence community seems designed to discredit them so that when (WHEN!) they find collusion with the Trump campaign on the hacking or other details about his relationship with Russia, Trump can say it's revenge on his revelations of the Intel community.

This won't work.

I.e., he's going down.

He'll give up Trump in seconds to avoid a treason charge.

He may only have suggested the focus of the hacks an timing of release but that's treason!


Or he may have negotiated the transfer of material to Assange but that's reason as well!

think disparaging the Intel community was going to play out? Did he not realize that our Intel folks are friends with Intel folks in other countries and that they help each other? And while he may think Putin is great not everyone in Russia does. My guess is this is just the tip of the iceberg.

as the song goes. Which is fine, as far as songs go. But this is our country.

The hell with anyone who wants to subvert it for personal gain or any other reason.
