None dare call it treason: As the Flynn scandal widens, let’s consider the evidence that Trump is a traitor
Has Trump's entire team been compromised by Putin? If so, everyone who continues to support him is complicit

Flynn is not alone. Other Trump operatives are also under investigation by the FBI for potentially illegal contact with senior Russian intelligence operatives.
This information is not new. The New York Times and other American news media outlets were aware of reports about Russian tampering in the 2016 election as well as an ongoing federal investigation into Trump, his advisers and other representatives. Instead of sharing this information with the American people during the election campaign, the Times and other publications chose to exercise “restraint” and “caution.” Decades of bullying by the right-wing media and movement conservatives would pay great dividends.
Afraid of showing any so-called liberal bias, the corporate news media demonstrated little restraint in its obsessive reporting about the non-story that was Hillary Clinton’s emails. This, in conjunction with other factors, almost certainly cost her the election.
In all, the Republican Party and its voters have abandoned their Cold War bonafides and their (somewhat exaggerated) reputation as diehard enemies of Russia and the former Soviet Union. To borrow from the language of spycraft, it would seem that they have been “flipped” by Vladimir Putin.
Despite mounting evidence suggesting that Trump’s administration has been compromised by Russia, his public continues to back him. The Republican Party and its leadership have largely chosen to support Donald Trump in a type of political suicide mission, because they see him as an opportunity to force their agenda on the American people and reverse or undo by the social progress made by the New Deal, the civil rights movement, feminism, the LGBT movement and other forces of progressive change.
