Jon Meacham Suggests Trump Committed Treason at Helsinki Summit
Newsbusters ^ | July 17, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Impeachment seems to be on the mind of liberal historian Jon Meacham lately. In May, Meacham predicted that a newly elected Democrat House will impeach President Donald Trump as a "season finale." Meacham's I-word obsession returned to Meacham on Tuesday's Morning Joe when he suggested that Trump somehow committed treason at the Helsinki Summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

Meacham, with unintentional irony, cited former CIA Director John Brennan, who admittedly voted for a Communist candidate for president during the height of the Cold War, for making his treason case [emphasis mine]:

Jon Meacham...One of the smarmiest guys in the MSM. Of course he gives NO specifics as to how Trump committed treason. Remember, Meacham was the editor-in-chief of Newsweek that drove it so far into the ground that it ended up being sold for a buck.

Yeah, President Trump committed treason by speaking at a news conference with the leader of one of the world’s largest countries, a country with 6,000 + nuclear weapons.
Sure he did.

I never heard of this Meacham ahole but he should be locked up in a mental institution.

Treason?! They commit it to the Nth degree and accuse my President of it just for meeting with a world leader and telling the truth.

We know what treason is and this President would NEVER commit it.

The real treason was committed by the participants and enablers of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

You are so right. I was surprised Barbara Bush had him speak at her funeral. But after thinking about it, I wasn't surprised at all. It just showed how liberal Barbara Bush was.

They don’t know what he did so they need to interrogate the translators ... but whatever it was ... it was treason. Yeah. OK.

Treason is acting against the COTUS. Who has done more of that? Trump or your average libtard? Eh Meacham?

Love it! Give us more of that unhinged hate.

Trump is bringing out the worst in his opponents and they’re sure the rest of the country hates Trump as much as them.

They really need to keep it up! Its a sure winner.

The shrill screeching is doing wonders for attracting people to the Democrat...umm...agenda?

What is the agenda this time around? ‘We’re not Trump!’? Or ‘We’ll finally beat Trump 2 years too late’?

I just don’t get the point. I mean, I eyerolled pretty hard over some of the Obama hysteria, but every time I turn around, Trump’s committed some great new atrocity (FAILED TO BOW TO THE QUEEN, IMPEACH NOW!)

It’s just.. I mean, I need an actual energized and cohesive opponent to drag Republicans back into the fold of being conservatives again. And instead I’m looking at such phrases as ‘don’t be a raving loon like...’ That’s not the way to keep Republican eyes on the Trump conservative agenda.

OMG. What did Trump do this time ? Did he give the Russians a reset button ? Perhaps he told them he could be more flexible ? Maybe he sold them a whole bunch of our uranium ? Perhaps he conspired with Russian Oligarchs to steal Millions ? Whatever it is, it must be really serious. Or not.

The "offending" remark made by President Trump was nothing more than what he has been saying for the last thirty years;

We are in the social, political and economic mess we are in because we have made stupid deals by stupid people and he told us those deals would be negated or re negotiated.

Listen again to his comment.

THAT was what he said.

If selling 20 percent of our uranium to those same Russians is aokay then this is peanuts

And with what we’re hearing about Lisa Paige’s testimony - they have to sling the “treason” word to try to divert from their very real treason....
