Trump campaign runs misleading anti-impeachment Facebook ads
Source: ABC News
The Trump campaign is flooding Facebook with anti-impeachment ads that misleadingly imply House Democrats are pushing "treason" allegations against President Donald Trump in the ongoing impeachment inquiry.
The ads, which started running on the social media site Thursday, ask for donations and float the word "treason" in two different ways. One set of ads implies Democrats are making "treason" allegations against the president, while other ads could be interpreted as the campaign claiming Democrats pushing impeachment are treasonousa loaded word the president himself has used against his critics.
"TREASON? First, the Left cried Quid Pro Quo, then bribery, and now TREASON? This entire HOAX has been JERRY-RIGGED by the Radical Democrats and we cannot put up with it any longer," one ad reads. The ad appears to be referencing House Democrats evolving impeachment argument against the president, which has at times both focused on quid pro quo and bribery allegations.
In a video posted with the campaign Facebook ads, President Trump calls impeachment a "coup" by Democrats who are "going after me because I'm fighting for you."

(70,103 posts)that they laid out that bribery as defined now, in statute, is not the same as the crime of bribery at the time it was written, and his conduct clearly fits what was the crime of bribery as defined then.
but i kept hoping someone would ask about treason. it is similarly very narrowly defined now, but i would bet money that the legal standards in the founder's day would have allowed any such loopholes for this conduct.
so, he should be impeached for treason, and the sob is lucky no one is talking about that.

However I have not seen any of my T-challenged friends share it yet either.
That may be coming. (?)
