In a Sunday interview on New York 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Rudy Giuliani, personal legal counsel for President Donald Trump, weighed in on the Department of Justice’s decision to drop charges against former National Security Adviser Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn after new evidence came to light showing FBI agents attempted to entrap Flynn into lying to them.
Giuliani said former CIA Director John Brennan, along with former FBI Director James Comey, orchestrated the Deep State’s attempt to take down Trump, which he described as “as close to treason as you can get.”
“This is now an inexperienced prosecutor’s hypothesis … I think Brennan ran this damn thing,” Giuliani told host John Catsimatidis. “I particularly think Brennan ran the Papadopoulos-Carter Page part of it because that’s a very elaborate counter-intelligence plan — kind of a stupid one. Brennan is smart, but if he goes overboard, he makes a lot of mistakes, which is why he was in trouble all his career. So, that one I’m sure is orchestrated by CIA. And who the hell would’ve done it in the CIA but a screwball like Brennan?”
He added, “I think they have Comey. And I think, despite the fact that he got let off a couple of times — and I have no inside information — I believe that Attorney General Barr was saving it for the really good case, the one that comes pretty close to treason, because what they did after [Trump] was elected, I don’t say that it’s treason, but it’s as close to treason as you can get. They wanted to take out the lawfully elected President of the United States, and they wanted to do it by lying, submitting false affidavits, using phony witnesses — in other words, they wanted to do it by illegal means.

I wouldn’t call Red China a friendly country.
For discussion:
U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
Article 3 - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 - Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
And I thought it was just a simple Seditious Conspiracy To Overthrow The United States Presidency.
Russia, Australia, Italy and the UK. ...least that’s what I remember.
Annnnd the bad guys will all get away with it....
OK I’ll say it. Its treason.
Oh they have Comey, the question is will they do anything, they never do.
Can’t be...look up the law. It has to be helping our enemy we are at war with. We aren’t at war with Russia or China. In fact, we aren’t at official war with anyone. So it can’t be treason. At least that’s how I understand it. Do you know differently?
I prefer to think of the concerted action beginning with President Obama and working down to the level of White House, House of Representatives, DOJ, CIA, FBI clerk typists as crimes against the Republic.
The effort was to overthrow the duly elected President. The punishment must be very quick death on a very large scale. Think 1792.
Hopefully Pelosi is mixed in with the mess too.
"If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States"
It depends on how to interpret by force. Does it mean physical force, as in using arms ? Or can it also include using the force of government agencies such as the FBI. I guess it would come down to legislative intent when they established the definition in the US Code ( I think it would go back to the Smith Act )
Really, what is China? We were taken over by a communist enemy. You just have not faced it yet.
America was subverted by a communist agent without violence. (Obama) We fell for it. Trump fell for it. Fauci wrecked our economy with Trumps trust. Here we are.
Political force equals the vote in America.
drivel
I have always thought that Brennan was the chief architect behind the whole thing. I sure hope they can get enough on him to send him to jail. He has always been a sneaky scumbag.
Force?
Let’s use the Same Standards DA’s Use everyday in every courtroom across America, were ANY of the Participants in possession of a weapon at any time?? Did anyone have Access to a Weapon at any time??
If YES to either, The “Legal” Standard of Force has been Satisfied.
No Rudy, I think it was treason!
Or we could just pay attention to Rep. John A. Bingham, who later became the chief architect of the 14th Amendment’s first section.
In the United States House on March 9, 1866 commenting upon Section 1992 of the Civil Rights Act, said that the Act was
“simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen”.
It meet the definition of “subversion”.
