Fox’s Jeanine Pirro insists Trump is not a traitor: ‘What was he supposed to do, take a gun out and shoot Putin?’



Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former judge, on Tuesday defended President Donald Trump against charges of treason following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On Tuesday’s edition of Fox & Friends, Pirro blasted former CIA Director John Brennan for suggesting Trump is a traitor to his country because he gave aid and comfort to Putin.

“John Brennan is the epitome of the swamp,” Pirro complained. “For this guy to talk about treason as it relates to Donald Trump is absurd.”

“He is the one who peddled the [Steele] dossier,” she continued. “He is the one who knew that Hillary Clinton paid for a fake dossier. Then went all over Washington and started the investigation against Donald Trump. You think he is biased?”

According to Pirro, the former CIA director “doesn’t understand the definition of treason.”

she'd be a better choice than Kavanaugh because she is 67 and Kav is 53. Even though women tend to live longer, that is a big age gap. And, she is supposed to be pro choice.

Pirro's stupidity is evidenced by her inability to articulate facts. Her head is so far up Trump's ass that she will never see clearly again.

By the way, it's good to read your posts again, yuiyoshida!

and ask him to send those 12 indicted Russians to the US for trial, as well as the previously indicated ones as well.

And, even if you personally don't believe US intelligence, you don't go out there and say it in front of the world.

As i said in another thread, he threw the intelligence community under the bus, saying he believes Russia that there was no interference, and in practically the next paragraph asks why the BHO administration didn't do something about it.

Do something about what? They both smilingly just said nothing happened.

And so we have a sociopath from Russia and a megalomaniac from the US conspiring together, and anybody with a functioning brain thinks this is a good idea?

Not siding with an adversary that attacked our 2016 election whilst demeaning our own intelligence community on the world stage would have been a good start. There is something wrong with that lady.

Just a thought. When he gets conflicting information from the U.S. intelligence community and a hostile foreign power, it would be reassuring if the president sided with the U.S. intelligence community instead of the hostile foreign power.

If we call their news "fake news" and they call our news "fake news", then the ensuing confusion over which fake news said what would cancel each other out.

FOX is nothing but fake. MSM is reality. We need to reclaim and re-embrace our press, lest the fascists' repeated suggestions take hold in the eyes of independents as well.

and will say anything.

For instance the Steele Dossier: She knows full well that it started as oppo research against trump by another repug candidate (I believe it was Cruz).

When Cruz lost then and only then did the Clinton campaign have Steele continue his investigation.

Repugs have been telling that lie for quite a while now and too often the talking head TV hosts let it go unchallenged.
