Full tile.... Jeff Flake takes to Senate floor to suggest Trump committed TREASON by giving 'aid and comfort' to 'enemy' Russia .....
The Trump-Helsinki summit brought new accusations in Congress Thursday, as GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona accused the president of providing 'aid and comfort' to the enemy.
Flake's choice of words evoked the Constitution's definition of treason at a time when President Trump is facing a new level of scrutiny for his refusal to forcefully condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for election meddling during their summit meeting Monday in Finland.
'By choosing to reject objective reality in Helsinki, the president let down the free world by giving aid and comfort to an enemy of democracy. In so doing he dimmed the light of freedom ever so slightly in our own country,' said Flake, a Trump critic who has announced his retirement from the Senate at the end of his term.

Seditious treason monkey.
This guy is a jerk. Treason? Really? I Must have missed the US Russia war.
Not this “s” again...
We are not at war with Russia
For example, where was Flake on this:
Internationalists Betray America.
Where has he been on this two + generational attack on our sovereignty, from within:
It is in our interest to improve relations with Russia. The betrayal is among those who deliberately sabotage the continuity of our heritage by sabotaging the very concept of a sovereign nation.
Its time for this fool to be escorted out of the building. I like the other idea presented. The congress needs to either make a declaration of war or shut up and let the elected president continue his efforts. Our previous three presidents have been ineffective with Russia and more friendly. Bush and now Trump have both to their credit built up military in eastern Europe. The other two completely capitulated.
Go away flake. You’re such a leftist; even Marx is to your right.
I wish one of these critics would tell us what their plan is that starts with publicly attacking Putin and ends with ANYTHING that helps America.
We can have a legitimate discussion on whether or not the meeting should have happened. But the meeting did happen. And Trump’s approach seems to me like the best way to work toward deals that HELP AMERICA. We don’t need to feel good because “our guy” bested “the other guy” one day at a press conference. That ends the next day.
There’s no long term advantage for us that I see in attacking Putin (maybe Flake can explain what I’m missing). There are possible long term advantages to building a relationships with Putin - and “being nice” in public is pretty important to do that. Putin WILL play a role in NK, Syria, Iran, our elections, and so many other areas. How does pissing him off at a press conference help in any of those areas?
I just called my Senator to complain..
Jeff Flake.... so unpopular he isnt even bothering to run for re-election in his own state of Arizona.
Let this Never Trumper just leave us well enough alone - a Democrat in an R Jersey!
McShameys mini me
My G-d! I didnt know we were at war with Russia?
I better run down to wal mart and stock up on stuff for my nuclear bomb shelter.
I frankly think these idiots want Trump to go to war with Russia just so they can gloat about being right about his being unqualified to be the president. A nuclear war is a small price to pay to assuage their deranged egos. They can gloat for about 90 minutes before the missiles hit the ground.
Marvin K Mooney, will you please go now....
Lame Duck, empty head.
Just like 0bama did over and over again?
Was Obama an enemy of democracy when he interfered in all the elections he “meddled” with?
Sheesh, even Chuckie Schumer has backed-off from the T word.
Or that stuff Han Solo was put in.....
Introduce him to John Kerry.
