Trump Accuses FBI Agent of ‘Treason’
Wall Street Journal (via Sputnik) ^ | Jan 11 2018 | Rebecca Ballhaus

Posted on 01/11/2018 3:29:15 PM PST by smileyface

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump, unprompted, labeled as “treason” a text message written by Peter Strzok, an agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who until late July was a top investigator on the special counsel’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with associates...

I hope all traitors are given a fair trial, found guilty and hanged on a tree on the WDC Mall. They deserve that and more.

Here's a question for you and all of the other thoughtful, insightful FR posters. If you had only one choice & could only pick one option, which one would you choose: (a) administration of justice; or (b) 50 year conservative control?

If Trump lets the entire rogue's gallery of traitors skate, would it really be that harmful if what they did became settled law? That is, by not pursuing legal action against the deep state conspirators, Trump confirms their legal status, and uses the IC tools to co-opt their polices, techniques and tactics to be used against his/our political enemies?

In other words, by foregoing justice, Trump will be able to (legally) spy, surveil, plant evidence, falsely swear to affidavits/warrants, manipulate public airwaves with push-programmed propaganda, etc, etc, etc. With that kind of government power at its disposal, the right should be able to control all facets of control for multiple generations.

Is the acquisition of that much power a fair trade to let a few hundred (even thousand) conspirators off the hook?

Why Peter Strzok has not been charged with treason is a mystery.
______________
The politically correct wussy crowd can not let the word escape their lips. Believe me, they all know that the attempted coup is the biggest historical treasonous act committed against the U.S since Benedict Arnold.

“Not surprising to me. Sure, he’s a scumbag lowlife, but under the law, can you say he was treasonous?”

One thing Strzok and Page are sure to be charged with is illegally leaking to the media. In the second set of texts released this week, they admit it.

The OIG has all their texts thru July when they were removed from the Mueller “investigation”.

Since Strzok was involved in the Flynn interview/entrapment, i’m sure S & P texted about that “success” as well.

Also, the Flynn surveillance transcript was illegally leaked as well. My guess is S&P foolishly did that as well to “spike the ball”, and likely text about that “success” also.

Then there are all the leaks from early in the Mueller investigation.

S&P did a large number of illegal act which their foolish texts helpfully document. They also appear to have commented heavily about the actions of their co-workers and superiors, which means their is a written record of others bad acts as well.

Talk about the Curse of Trump !

Shocking enough for me to hear the CNN reporter tell Flapper Tapper that President Trump did not use the word “treasonous”.

Because we have an Attorney General with no balls.

We lack two things, an Attorney General, and a President will take the heat for firing our “recused’ Attorney General.
So instead of getting Justice, we will get Propaganda from the Press. It is all on Trump to get things done.

The media’s characterization of this is, and their failure to do their duty as civilian guardians of our Constitutional Republic is more treasonous than anything the FBI and previous administration did, and that is saying a lot. The word honor can no longer be applied to the US government, the media, or much of ‘soapbox’ America. They have failed miserably, and their stature and and substance is best described as akin to the exoskeleton remains of a molting reptile.

Those items mentioned in that post were designed to make fun of Trump and make light of their texts, mentioning only those that called Trump names.

Treason in the Constitution

***1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.***

Trump considers attempting to overthrow the duly elected government of the USA to be levying war against the USA. Makes sense.

Strzok worked an operation designed to overthrow our government, his “insurance policy”.

You’re talking the way the left has always been thinking.

Meaning, that’s the scheme they’ve been building.

And the answer to your question is no. Doesn’t take much grey matter to understand this.

Do you consider Trump to be a dishonorable man?

“This is the FBI we’re talking about—that is treason,” the president said. “That is a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.”

"Treason" is almost as overused as "racism" is. And as misapplied.

If he’s a traitor, charge him, arrest him, try him, find him guilty, and imprison him.

If somewhere along the line there’s evidence of Obama’s, Clinton’s, Lynch, (et al) and/or Comey’s treason, then charge them, arrest them, try them, find them guilty, and execute them.

Trump is the President. The President is the chief executive law enforcement officer. He needs to do his job. Direct the DOJ to DO their Job.

I’m SICK OF THIS SLOW DRIP.
