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.

Rinse and repeat until they get the message.
Say it. Overthrow. Subversion. Worse than our enemy Russia ever envisioned.
It wasn’t close. It was.
Why not call it what it is...SEDITION!
President Trump’s attack dog is off the leash. Sic ‘em,Rudy!
LOL!
Well maybe it wasnt’ sedition. I just looked up the definition.
You got it right. I said sedition, but it’s subversion:

The only reason it isn’t treason is that it isn’t in consort with an enemy country.
What was done is in fact sedition. It is not criminbal sedition, only becuase it was done without advocating or using violence. But is sedition, bigtime.
Non-violent sedition. Shadow government, do all possible to topple and destabilize the elected government.
Just because it isn’t a crime, doesn’t mean it is acceptable.
None (in the media) dare call it treason.
come on
say it.
TREASON.
people died,
it is criminal
To me this one is the closest match:

And it’s a stretch. You’d have to say they were using the force of the US gov’t against it’s own citizens illegally to over throw the duly elected president.
It’s going to be interesting when we have to discuss the definition of “treason”.
It’s like pornography — I know it when I see it.
But the Constitution has some specific language. I’m not sure if that precludes any broader use of the term.
And, while we’re at it, we might want to explore a precise definition for “natural born citizen” and why the most restrictive meaning of that term is the best meaning of that term. You’re less likely to have your president commit treason if he is an NBC.
They were working with Russia and a number of other countries.
Why not call it what it is...SEDITION!
