[h-hawk]

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

OK, I'll bite. What has happened that fits that definition of treason?

 

[Funky Bunch]

I doubt if he'll go down for treason, although Warner has access to more info than we do.

You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Just sayin....

At the end of the day . . . I don't give 2 ishts about this aspect of "collusion" because it was political. Anyone that thinks Clinton wouldn't get in the dirt to win is intellectually dishonest. I just want Trumpets to understand he's a tool, and using them.

By saying I doubt it?

You said doubt if he goes down for treason. I'm saying going down period.

I'm just saying. Plenty here are getting all wound up again only to be let down.

His political decisions thus far are pretty much right in line with what I agree with. How am I being used by him?

That's a good thing. Disappointment leads to anger which is the best motivator for getting people to turn out. Ds need motivation. The truth of Russia is far less important than the story of Russia

I'd call you troll but unfortunately you mean it.

 

[Huey Grey]

We don't have treason yet. DTJ would have to supply some sort of aid to Russia first, but I don't see concrete evidence in these emails that he has.

Collusion, however, seems highly likely.

I think that's a fair point. Every Deplorable I know is right in line with the Traitor in Chief.

Telling Russia you want their help in the election is treason. That happened with this meeting.

No. Accepting help is collusion, but not treason. For it to be treason DTJ would have had to give Russia some sort of secret US intel. This is unlikely, not just because we have no proof that he did, but because this meeting took place before his dad was receiving classified briefings, so there wouldn't have been any secret intel to give.

No, asking is soliciting. You don't have to give away anything to be a traitor for seeing help from a foreign government with the purpose of impacting an election. You don't even need to actually receive the help or if received, show that it was instrumental in anyway. Just asking a foreign power to meddle in an election is enough.

Well, so far they've turned out to break windows and turn over cars. We'll have to see if it motivates them to turn out at the polls.

My thought on the 2018 elections is that the Dems win back Congress, which is the way I like it anyway. When these two parties get control of Congress and the WH, that's just too much power for either.

Impeach DTJ.

Santa Claus is coming tomorrow. He was supposed to come today but he didn't. He was also supposed to come yesterday, but he didn't. As a matter of fact he was supposed to come everyday for the last 10 months and he still hasn't showed up yet. I still believe the MSM and the Democrats though so I'm sure he will come tomorrow.

That doesn't speak very highly of you. But, not surprising.
