The problem with so many lawyers in Congress is that laws are written with sufficient ambiguity, that the unethical can interpret the law to their advantage.
I am now hearing an (you have got to be kidding) argument from the right that Obama was behind “tricking” poor little Jr. into meeting with the Russian! First Trump said there was NO meeting, then it was about orphans, then the meeting “should not count” cuz the Russians did not any good dirt on Hillary. Now we have degenerated down to “Look! it was Obama all along!” And the Trump lemming fall right in line to repeat the implausible.
You can argue about whether or not the Trump campaign broke any laws, but the emails released by Kushner make it 100% clear that the campaign was willing to collude with the Russian Government. I’m seeing the usual ‘what about-isms’ from the right about Democrats who they say did the same thing.
I thought the swamp drainers wanted more from their politicians than, “No laws were broken.” Either you think it’s wrong all the time, or you think it’s perfectly acceptable to get help from a foreign government that’s working directly against our interests in many areas.
The Russian attack on our elections was successful. Their guy won.
They were not punished for it — in fact, Trump and Trump Disciples deny it happened.
The Russians now have assets at the highest levels of the American government.
A private citizen who blabbed to a reporter that he openly colluded with the Russians is dead 10 days later — leaving a suicide note that reads like a Trump tweet.
.
Is there someone who believes the Russians are not encouraged enough to do it again, only this time more skillfully and with even better coordination?
Breaking the Iran Deal our best chance for avoiding a nuclear-armed Iran.
Conservatives have their side of the coin, the Republicans just never see it as wrong.
Trump Jr. colluded with the Russians to try to sway the election! Yes, and it was treason, even if we are not at war with Russia. It’s important to be accurate.
I think it’s important to be accurate in terminology. If people throw around inflammatory words and they are not accurate, it leaves a potent weapon in the hands of those who are charged. If it is indeed treason (according to the legal meaning of that term), go for it… otherwise, be careful what you say!
Davis, trump is NOTHING but a self-serving, egotistical, megalomaniac with homicidal tendencies. A sociopath, lots of Narcissism and a long list of other mental problems.
Having a meeting is not treason… having a meeting about a US election with the Russian government could be… you conservative crazies have lost it, and I don’t like it one bit. There is much ado about a lot of revelations – new information every day.

One party’s treason is another party’s stepping stone. And here I thought treason was about country.

Donald Sr. and Donald Jr. have performed a miracle of vast proportions. FOX NEWS is reporting REAL NEWS! I never thought I’d see the day.

Ms. Sorenson is only wrong on one count today; Iran is ignoring the treaty and is continuing its nuclear weapons program.

We are not at war with Russia but they are at war with us and they won the last round. Donald is the president.
