The Secret Service is investigating comments made by a Donald Trump adviser for veteran's issues for saying that Hillary Clinton should be executed for "treason."
"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation," spokesman Robert Hoback told The Daily Beast on Wednesday.
The adviser, New Hampshire State Rep. Al Baldasaro, told the Daily Beast earlier Wednesday that "anyone who commits treason should be shot.
"I believe Hillary Clinton committed treason," he added. "She put people in danger. "When people take confidential material off a server, you're sharing information with the enemy. That's treason."
Baldasaro said Tuesday that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee should be "put in the firing line" because of the email scandal also labeling her "a piece of garbage" in a radio interview on The Jeff Kuhner Show.

Covered by Freedom of Speech. He didn’t call for anyone to shoot her. He implied she should be prosecuted then shot if found guilty.
I like the idea of a good old fashioned TRIAL, at which Hillary is found guilty of treason and sentenced by the court to be SHOT by proper authorities.
He should have known better than to have said this.
Another bull$hit hit peace....
Treason would mean that formal charges were made and a federal court convicted her...... If that was the case....I’d be ok with the death penalty.....
It’s when he stated she should be shot. That tends to raise eyebrows for many reasons. As he is an advisor to someone running for President and wanting his opponent shot. Right or wrong, it raises eyebrows.
Glenn Beck’s stabby comments were more of an actual threat than some guy saying the US govt should follow the law.
I posted before reading your comment.
Love. It!
Dude’s remark was perfectly reasonable, rational and logical.
Something more like a hawser.
It is,FRIGGIN TRUE!She committed treason and should be arrested and tried in a court of law.
Ah, the left and free speech. Like so many issues things do not apply to the LEFT equally with the RIGHT.
And yet, every militant black racist group can call for the shooting of LEO’s, and that’s alright.
He used the word "executed."
How that is interpreted depends on whether you agree with the BLM's definition of "justice."
When the BLM animals use the word, someone dies; the victim most commonly a cop.
I’d wager tens of millions of Americans have the same opinion.
I don't see anything wrong with this as long as the appropriate investigation is playing the tape and saying that there is no basis for further investigation. Case closed.
Post #45 ~ Its when he stated she should be shot. ~
The punishment for treason/espionage is death by firing squad. The same punishment applied to the Rosenbergs, right?
~ As he is an advisor to someone running for President and wanting his opponent shot. >>>>>> Right or wrong, it raises eyebrows. ~
It IS right! He said nothing wrong - and even if it WERE wrong; we need to protect our Country by any means necessary.
Go find your ‘safe place’ and shelter in place... :^)
Just proves how obvious it was! :-)
Totally agree. And besides, have you seen the price of ammo these days?
Shouldn’t those stupid SS people be investigating Hillary for treason? After all, I do believe those oafs did take an Oath to defend the Constitution and this Nation, not some twit.
“and even if it WERE wrong; we need to protect our Country by any means necessary.
Go find your safe place and shelter in place... :^)”
I was just stating a fact. If someone on Hitlery’s campaign started talking about killing trump, we would have your panties in a wad.
I wasn’t stating an opinion, I was stating a fact. Freedom of Speech does not mean without consequences. Say what you want to whoever you want. Be prepared to face what you say though. And he is. He is at least man enough to state that he doesn’t care that he said it.
