Is Donald Trump a traitor?

“If you collude with an adversary of the United States to take over the government of the United States, you’re a traitor.”


“I think everyone is afraid of the consequences of using that word because it’s so fraught, but that is essentially what it is,” Risen explained. “If you collude with an adversary of the United States to take over the government of the United States, you’re a traitor.”

It wasn't so much that Trump and his supporters wanted to take over the US, as it was that they wanted to raid our treasury. Trump was a useful idiot for the Russians. They recognized him early, when he did the Miss Universe contest in Russia, that he was a greedy bastard, highly susceptible to flattery and easy access to laundered mob money.

Trump is a traitor, a criminal, and head of his very own mob family.

I think Risen is right and I hope he keeps digging and writing.

"Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President."

Read between the lines: "See? It wasn't me and I had nothing to do with it! Whew. So glad that's over with."

An attack on our free elections and American democracy by a foreign adversarial government - and we get, "Not me!"

This is the leader of the free world abdicating his duty and responsibilities and his Constitutional oath. Traitor.
