There are many things you can accuse President Donald Trump of. And treason is now apparently one of those after his controversial press conference with Russias President Vladimir Putin at their summit in Helsinki, Finland. But do lawyers agree?
Donald Trumps press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of high crimes & misdemeanors, tweeted John Brennan, the former CIA director. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trumps comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???
Brennans premise is that at the press conference, Trump appeared to side with Putin over Americas own intelligence agencies on the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Putin denies what the U.S. intelligence community is telling Trumpthat the Kremlin used cyberwarfare to undermine American democracy. And Trump, whose 2016 campaign is under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller over suspicions of collusion with the Russian government, seems to believe Putin.

I had to laugh as Putin just shrugged him off to have him place it on the table, avoiding the bait completely.
Have they forgotten OCommies Apology Tour?
Lawyers are trained to argue both sides of an issue, so what they “say” is meaningless.
Then, by extension, the Democrats committed treason when they sided with Saddam Hussein and trashed our intelligence agencies over weapons of mass destruction.
These are the same agencies that accuse Trump of collusion. So he already has reason to distrust.
I like your plan outline, and sincerely hope you are right.
Liberal ‘elites’ are trying to ‘create a crowd’ and mob attack Trump. Then they’ll hold their collect breaths and hope Trump’s base will leave him.
Not gonna happen...
We’ll stick with our President. Then liberal elites will start their hysterics over some new issue. They’ve been doing this since Trump stared running against Hillary.
It was a trap.
It was not exactly what I'd call a "trap". It was a warning and a hammer by US black hat (deep state) intel thinking that there was no way Trump would be bold enough and have huge enough nuts to SAY THE SAME THING OVER THERE AS HE'S BEEN SAYING OVER HERE FOR MONTHS. He smoked 'em.
Our Intel community is in open rebellion. Traitors all.
Thus sayeth John Brennan, who at the height of the Cold War, voted for a Communist in a presidential election. Who turned a blind eye when BHO traded Bowie Bergdahl for terrorist leaders and watched silently as BHO send a plane load of cash to Iran, the largest State sponsor of global terrorism. Yeah, The DonaldTM was the one that committed treason...
Brennan, you are a traitor and a domestic enemy of the Constitution.
Has Hillary and Obama committed treason hundreds of times?
Once upon a time newsspeak was a credible publicaiton. Not any more.
Brannan? Not even a communist hack. Just an agent provocateur.
vs. Obama apology tours
Bull crap.
The idiot millenials that were filling in for the normal hosts on AM970 in Tampa today were up in arms about Trump. When conservative callers were stating about the treasonous remarks from Trump and McCain they just made excuses and just tried to jump on the anti-Trump wagon, even stating Fox News was even calling him out, and that Trump wouldn’t defend the idea Trump’s own intelligence stated that Russians interfered with the 2016 election, but they ignored that the very intelligence community is anti-Trump and still feeding from Obama’s trough.
Wouldn’t we have to send out people there too if there was a extradition treaty?
Like Pockets OCommie and Skerry on thr the Iranian Deal?
