Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, who is challenging President Trump for the Republican nomination next year, on Monday accused him of “treason” for pressing the leader of Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
Weld’s comments came in response to reports that Trump repeatedly brought up investigating Biden, who is seeking the 2020 Democratic nomination, and his younger son, Hunter, in a July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a U.S. election,” Weld said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “It couldn’t be clearer, and that’s not just undermining democratic institutions. That is treason. It’s treason, pure and simple, and the penalty for treason under the U.S. code is death. That’s the only penalty.”

Is “interference” even a crime ? Besides actually tampering with ballot boxes I don’t see what a foreign country could actually do.

I see Bill Weld has been hitting the bottle again.
Bill, whoever you are, try AA, it will help.
To: Innovative
Deep state commie global elitists must be getting desperate. Now they are trotting out their GOP commie plants to hit Trump. I see this as an act of desperation. Those who mouth off like Romney and Weld need to be run out of the party for good!!!!!! They are Trojan Horses.

Biden pressured Ukraine to stop an investigation of his son, and threatened the Ukrainian government that $1 billion in loan guarantees would be withheld unless a certain prosecutor wasn’t fired
Why shouldn't this be investigated?

Why would President Trump encourage a leader to enforce the law. That’s terrible if true!
