Trump: 'This Was TREASON!'
CNS News ^ | May 17, 2019 | 7:26 AM EDT | By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) – “TREASON!” President Trump tweeted on Friday morning:

My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!

In four other tweets, the president wrote:

58% of people say that the FBI broke the law in investigating Donald J. Trump.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

“What happened is that Donald Trump won. Down goes Comey.” @foxandfriends

Trump apparently was reacting to Bill Hemmer's interview with Attorney General William Barr, in which Barr said he has been "trying to get answers to questions" about the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, but "I found that a lot of the answers have been inadequate."

The Justice Department inspector general reportedly is nearing the end of his investigation into alleged FISA abuse by the FBI, and separately, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, John Durham, is looking into the FBI's apparently flimsy basis for starting the Trump-Russia probe.

No doubt it was treason. But when will there be arrests?

Any recent Republican President would have crumbled under this assault, or if they survived not fight back against the bad guys.

Trump will NOT let this slide.

President 0bama, what did you know and when did you know it?

Trump knows a lot more. Italy just fired 4 spy directors. Italy will be giving up Mifsud. It’s all coming out.

Timing is everything.

President Trump is preparing the ground for the upcoming battle. The conspirators (and their supporters will have to respond to this tweet. They will expose themselves to the American people for the traitors they are as more evidence is presented.)

“TREASON means long jail sentences....”

Actually, Mr President, I prefer short ropes and tall trees.

I love this guy!

While I agree with the President, Treason is very difficult to prove. I would recommend going after perjury, obstruction, etc. Those charges take out a lot of “intent” and focus on what actions were executed.

Treason is not hard to prove with the evidence they have.

Even for Trump, these tweets are very strongly worded.

It will be difficult to back away from them if they weren't true. Which tells me they are true. People are going to jail for a long time.

The Rats are coming out and defending the deep state actors.I really hope the worst for these subversive traitors. With Comey the commie admitting he was a commie in college and Brennan admitting as well it’s pretty obvious that this charade has been going on for decades. All of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing. But now they’re out in the open revealing themselves as jackals. This will only end with their total defeat or us being subjecated by a Marxist dictatorship. Call them for what they are.

Actually it means execution. But I digress.

Our domestic enemies are desperately hoping for war with Iran to make it all go away.

Treason?

That calls for the death penalty. So who do you think should die over this?

Unfortunately, ‘treason’ is defined in the Constitution, and unless there is a declared war going on, it’s merely ‘sedition’.................

All of them....... the whole lot

Absent 1792 trials and deaths, the events will reoccur. As soon as there is a Democrat president, the whole lot will be pardoned

Off with their heads is the only real solution

Not a lawyer, but looking up the legal definition of the terms “treason” and “sedition”, it seems to me that sedition would apply and perhaps less difficult to prosecute/convict.
