President Trump has ratched up his claim that the Obama White House spied on his 2016 campaign, charging in a new book that it was a treasonous act by the former Democratic president.
What they did was treasonous, OK? It was treasonous, he told author Doug Wead for his upcoming book, "Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency."
The interesting thing out of all of this is that we caught them spying on the election. They were spying on my campaign. So you know? What is that all about? said Trump.
I have never ever said this, but truth is, they got caught spying. They were spying, said Trump who then added, Obama.

If you think that is a legal reality, then you have to charge every politician in the country who commits vote fraud with “treason”. We don’t do that though, because that isn’t a legal reality.
Treason against Trump? Is that a thing?

Some one shut the power this is about to get hot.
See Article III sec 2. The ONLY definition of treason that is actionable in the United States.
“The POTUS is doing to the word treason what the Progs have done to the word racist. If I could have one wish about Pres. Trump fulfilled it would be to learn that hyperbole is effective only in limited use.”
Try again, xkaydet65. Plotting with a foreign government to overthrow our government(President Trump) is treason.

OK, how about 0’s activities against President Trump —after— President Trump’s was inaugurated?
Brennan, Clapper, Comey, etc. absolutely knew that Hillary FUNDED the Dossier full of Russian LIES yet used that very Dossier as the FOUNDATION for the their FISA warrants allowing them to spy on Team Trump.
They PLANTED the evidence against Trump then SPIED ON HIM by order of FISA's granted on their PLANTED EVIDENCE.
CIRCULAR CLUSTERF**K. UNREAL.
“There must be a war, or the crime of levying war cannot exist”
John Marshall for the Court in
United States v Burr (1807)
If you don’t think we’re at war, your definition of war is severely limited.
And John Marshall doesn’t get to define “war.”
But the spying and attempted subversion continued into the time when Trump was President. Is that not treason?
Like Scalia, I tend toward the doctrine of original intent so yeah, for me Marshall gets to decide. And to be honest, as despicable as these anti Trump actions are they pale before the actions of Jane Fonda in Hanoi.
Yeah..but he didn't try to weaponize the the whole Government!
He didnt have a clue of his own power as President....But the usurper Obama did!
>> The news media knew about the spying, but they were all for it.
No doubt.
The influential “news media” that’s #ing the Country is pretty much Comcast, Disney, and now ATT.
Telecom must not control the news.
Only to those who hate the truth. Otherwise, "The truth will set you free."
Sedition and seditious conspiracy are not treason.
They were, in England in 1788, and the founders defined treason in the Constitution VERY NARROWLY to prevent the use of treason in political matters.
Charging them with treason is not a legal reality until they get charged with treason.
