Bill Maher Calls Trump A 'Traitor' In Conversation With Former CIA Director John Brennan
Newsweek ^ | August 25, 2018 | Kelly Wynne

Bill Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, told former CIA Director John Brennan that he considers President Trump a “traitor” on Friday.

Maher was referring to an incident in which Trump absolved Russia of blame, taking the perspective of Vladimir Putin over the accounts of his own intelligence agencies, during a July 16 press conference with the Russian leader in Helsinki. (He later reversed his comments.)

"He takes their side and not ours. That's a traitor," Maher said.

Maher brought up remarks Brennan made after the press conference. "You used terms like that, after Helsinki, you said it was 'nothing short of treasonous,' which, to me, sounds like treasonous," Maher said to Brennan.

Brennan agreed the word had crossed his mind.

“He's not on our side. You're not on our side, if you're attacking our Generals, you're not on our side," Maher continued....

So Bill is on the same side as Joseph McCarthy.

The times they are a’changing.

I really think it was a Freudian slip when Trump ‘excused’ Russia about the hacking. Trump knows it was China, but can’t disclose anything about that.

So, a traitor talking to another traitor calls someone else a traitor.

Sounds like “Projection” to me.

Hackers were probably from all over the place. Just being hacked by one bunch doesn’t mean others didn’t hack or disgruntled Bernie fans didn’t leak info and subsequently get murdered for their troubles.

“”He takes their side and not ours. That’s a traitor,” Maher said.”

By that logic every Democrat in my lifetime is a traitor since they have taken the enemy’s side in EVERY conflict since WWII.

I’m really tired of these people. They can’t wait for their communists to get back in power so they can fawn and gush and pretend everybody loves them.

The man who hailed the bravery of the 911 hijackers talks to the man who voted for a lifelong Communist for US president - and they agree that Trump is a Traitor!

Today reality is satire on its own!

Mr. D.A. Maher, pull your head out, over the past two years many Obama loyalists in many of our so called intelligence agencies have been involved in a no gunfire coup against our government.

They want Trump out of office and are willing to do ANYTHING to see it happen. So, why wouldn’t he NOT TRUST his own intelligence agencies?!

Just one time I would like one of these asshats to explain how Trump is a traitor, what were his lies, and what crimes he has committed. One time, once that’s all, still waiting. It is nothing more than pure propaganda if they don’t back it up with facts.

Yes, Trump is a traitor to their beloved New World Order. He’s the greatest pro-American president we’ve had since Reagan, but of course the American-hating left wouldn’t care about that.
