Trump Says Authorities Spying on His Campaign Was ‘Treason,’ Warns of ‘Long Jail Sentences’
The Epoch Times ^ | May 17, 2019 | Zachary Stieber

President Donald Trump said that the FBI and other agencies spying on his 2016 presidential campaign was treason and said the people behind the attempt to frame him and the campaign warranted “long jail sentences.”

“My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics,” Trump wrote on Twitter on May 17.

“A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!” he added.

I’d give the perps a choice: Firing squad or hanging.

And if Trump wants to eliminate the national debt, just partner with Pay-Per-View tickets at $100 a pop.

But the bottom line is obvious. It is indeed treason.

Pay CLOSE attention to the definition, there is a REASON Trump is saying it this way:

Treason. Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death,

It’s technically sedition but 90% of Americans have no idea the difference so “Treason” works for the average Joe.

Once the truth gets out the Repubs will say, okay, we’ve woke everybody up. Now we can move along. No need to pursue this any further and all this will die out. As always, nothing will happen and we’ll get the shaft as we always do.

You’re correct on both counts.

Imagine if someone had pulled this stunt on Lincoln in 1861.

There would have been a forest of ropes.

As he said to Hillary during the debate, “You’d be in jail!”

I am in full agreement with this statement from the President.

Let the arrests, prosecutions, and trials begin! Let there be convictions and appropriate sentences for the guilty.

And as Hillary said after her Matt Lauer interview, ““If That F****** Bastard Wins, We’re Going To Hang From Nooses!” She knows.

Long jail sentences until a democrap gets elected. Nope. If convicted, no rig to appeal and Ceaușescu. Take to the yard, bullet to the head. Repeat.

I think....
hanging, in a electric chair plus a firing squad and lethal injection all timed perfectly plus a raffle for the one 306 cartridge for the squad. lets say 1k for the raffle ticket for the firing squad and you get to keep M1 Garand.

Pay per view live... epic

Correction, Mr. President:

Treason is the only crime for which the Constitution prescribes the punishment. It’s not jail. It’s death.

LBJ spied on Goldwater.

But J. Edgar told Goldwater about it.

Well, there won’t be any jail terms either. No DC jury is going to convict a democrat.
