In reply to the discussion: Something is NOT RIGHT. Mueller let Trump get away with TREASON. Just like Flynn wasn't charged [View all]Kid Berwyn
(14,897 posts)123. Why do you argue Russia election interference isn't an attack?
The traitor Trump appreciates it, very much.
Rep. Swalwell explains:
Despite Russias harmful national interests against the U.S., and its human rights violations around the world, President Trump and his team are directly and indirectly tied to Russia.
Throughout the 2016 presidential election, President Trump not only refused to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin, but was even friendly and accommodating in his remarks. In his own words, President Trump called President Putin highly respected." More recently, President Trump put the U.S. on equal moral footing with Russia when responding to Bill OReillys question about Putin being a "killer," saying "We've got a lot of killers... you think our country's so innocent?" This is absolutely false moral equivalence, and unheard of for the President of the United States to insult and demean the country he leads.
President Trump has harshly criticized NATO, and exclaimed that only the NATO allies that paid equally to the alliance deserved protection from the United States. Though these remarks were softened by British Prime Minister Theresa May, who claims that President Trump fully supports the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), it's still unclear how supportive he will be of NATO allies like the Baltic states in light of his relationship with Russia.
President Trump has also surrounded himself with people who do business with and are sympathetic to Russia. The New York Times reported that members of Trumps 2016 campaign and other Trump associates had frequent contact with senior Russian intelligence officials throughout the campaign. In addition to these questionable communications, here are a few other associates with ties to Moscow:

Bullshit. I wish people would stop acting like you must have proof of a crime to indict.

You think the problem with the "naysayers" is that they're looking at the Constitution?

Treason is a crime with very specific and narrow elements that must be fulfilled.
