On Monday, he called for the newspaper to release its sources for the report, tweeting that it "must be held fully accountable."

The NYT has made a business using anonymous sources and when called out they claim to be the victim and rally their co-conspirators to join their defense.

The “independence” of the NYT, not including the DNC and the Hillary! campaign.

Accusing the press of treason is “dangerous,” but accusing the president of it isn’t.

Got it.

Treason is treason. The First Amendment does not excuse it. In life, there are consequences.

Here’s the legal definition of treason:

treason
n. the crime of betraying one’s country, defined in Article III, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” Treason requires overt acts and includes the giving of government security secrets to other countries, even if friendly, when the information could harm American security. Treason can include revealing to an antagonistic country secrets such as the design of a bomber being built by a private company for the Defense Department. Treason may include “espionage” (spying for a foreign power or doing damage to the operation of the government and its agencies, particularly those involved in security) but is separate and worse than “sedition,” which involves a conspiracy to upset the operation of the government.

So, did the NYT commit treason? Yes, obviously.

Stop committing treason and you will no longer be accessed of it...by people who actually want the truth and nothing but the truth. RATS like their lies and want to believe in those lies.

I've noticed when Trump mentions something, theres usually something behind it. He gets ridiculed, only to have the truth of the matter come out later.

"I was wiretapped". Ridiculed in most media, only to have come out he and others were indeed spied upon (or surveilled, if you prefer).

If he is saying the New York Times is guilty of treason, I would not be surprised if there was some sort of collusion along those lines.

The NYT claim was reckless if false, and a betrayal of our nation’s defenders if true.

The irony here is that Democrat-dominated media has been accusing Trump of treason for three years. That’s the whole basis of wanting to impeach him for supposedly colluding with Russia.

And what crimes, precisely, did the NYT accuse the president of performing that led to this accusation?
