Trump, A Treasonous Traitor

Trump, Treasonous Traitor
The president fails to protect the country from an ongoing attack.

Put aside whatever suspicions you may have about whether Donald Trump will be directly implicated in the Russia investigation.

Trump is right now, before our eyes and those of the world, committing an unbelievable and unforgivable crime against this country. It is his failure to defend.

The intelligence community long ago concluded that Russia attacked our election in 2016 with the express intention of damaging Hillary Clinton and assisting Trump.

And it was not only the spreading of inflammatory fake news over social media. As a May report from the Republican-run Senate Intelligence Committee pointed out:

“In 2016, cyber actors affiliated with the Russian Government conducted an unprecedented, coordinated cyber campaign against state election infrastructure. Russian actors scanned databases for vulnerabilities, attempted intrusions, and in a small number of cases successfully penetrated a voter registration database. This activity was part of a larger campaign to prepare to undermine confidence in the voting process.”

And this is not simply a thing that happened once. This is a thing that is still happening and will continue to happen. As Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told the committee in February, “Persistent and disruptive cyberoperations will continue against the United States and our European allies using elections as opportunities to undermine democracy.” As he put it, “Frankly, the United States is under attack.”

The Robert Mueller investigation is looking into this, trying to figure out what exactly happened in 2016, who all was involved, which laws where broken and who will be charged and tried.

That investigation seems to be incredibly fruitful. According to Vox’s tally:

“Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has either indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 32 people and three companies — that we know of. That group is composed of four former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Five of these people (including three former Trump aides) have already pleaded guilty.”

Twelve of those indictments came last week with a disturbingly detailed account of what the Russians did. As The New York Times put it:

“From phishing attacks to gain access to Democratic operatives, to money laundering, to attempts to break into state elections boards, the indictment details a vigorous and complex effort by Russia’s top military intelligence service to sabotage the campaign of Mr. Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.”

Whether or not Trump himself or anyone in his orbit personally colluded or conspired with the Russians about their interference is something Mueller will no doubt disclose at some point, but there remains one incontrovertible truth: In 2016, Russia, a hostile foreign adversary, attacked the United States of America.

America’s commander wants to be chummy with the enemy who committed the crime. Trump is more concerned with protecting his presidency and validating his election than he is in protecting this country.

This is an incredible, unprecedented moment. America is being betrayed by its own president. America is under attack and its president absolutely refuses to defend it.

Simply put, Trump is a traitor and may well be treasonous.

Where was your outrage when Obama did nothing? No, actually he did do something, he prevented any action from taking place.

Your feigned outrage is noted.

But the question of how forcefully to respond would soon divide the White House staff, pitting the National Security Council’s top analysts for Russia and cyber issues against senior policymakers within the administration. It was a debate that would culminate that summer with a dramatic directive from Obama’s national security adviser to the NSC staffers developing aggressive proposals to strike back against the Russians: “Stand down.”

Wrong.

Obama directed Comey to investigate. Then Trump fired Comey because of Russia. We know it was because of Russia because that's what he said to Lester Holt.

[countryboy]

This is about Trump. He lost the popular election and I bet he still cries himself to sleep at night over it. Why do you think the President doesn't seem to give a hoot if the Russians at least attempted to interfere with out election? No one is disputing he won the electoral vote, so quit trying to deflect.

He won the election, and is the sitting president. Don't be stupid.

[LV426]

He won the election, and is the sitting president. Don't be stupid.

He only won because he had the support of Russia, who attacked us for his benefit.

this is why opinion pieces are like assholes. everyone has one and they almost always stink. trump, nor any other president, is responsible for securing voting systems that are owned and run by the states who are the real ones responsible.

[countryboy]

Wrong.

Obama directed Comey to investigate. Then Trump fired Comey because of Russia. We know it was because of Russia because that's what he said to Lester Holt.

Lol, the stand down order is verified and irrefutable. Obama ordered his justice department to investigate, and entrap Trump, and stop him at all costs. "Teh Russians" was just an excuse.

Stand down...on going public, not stand down on the investigation.

[blackascoal]

I've gone over many areas of mutual interest/friction that would benefit from improving relations
The rest of you post is hash.

It doesn't matter what you've "gone over." What difference does that make .. and to whom?

Russia attacked the US election .. but somehow you're good with that.

Got it.

Just proves you have an asshole.

As are his supporters , no surprise as southern whites have a history of being traitors to the United States

[blackascoal]

lets break it down, brother. who runs the elections? who has constitutional and legal power/authority over them?

Yes, let's break it down.

When banks get robbed, do you blame the bank because they didn't have enough security?

When people are senselessly murdered, do you blame them because they didn't have a gun? You do know that even people with guns get murdered, right?

Point being, even good security often fails .. particularly when technology is involved because systems change, technology changes. and previously unforeseen holes in the code appear.

So let's not pursue or prosecute the Russians because it was our fault that they committed a crime.

... truly amazing.

Say it loud brother .. AS ARE HIS SUPPORTERS.

I agree.
