    Kim, now Vlad, and as far as I know Nieto's check has yet to arrive. I don't know, maybe Don should call William Shatner in lieu of Hannity as it relates to Don's "negotiator" skillset.

    I remember when conservatives claimed Obamacare was treason....

    ...then they claim Obama giving his wife a fist bump was possible treason..

    ...then they claim his utter existence was also treason because he was a Manchurian candidate cultivated by Russia


    ...and who can forget the non-apology -- apology tour that conservatives claimed was treason -- in which he NEVER blamed the United States for the cold war

    That may very well be true, but it was certainly NEVER what the Founders intended.

    So run down that evidence of Obama conspiring with Putin in the last election -- I'll wait

    Then, tell me why hasn't Obama been indicted yet? if you say because Obama is too powerful to be indicted, slap yourself to sleep

    Yes, I remember that also. Both sides use exaggerated hyperbole to attack the other side and neither have any idea of the meaning of treason.

    Former CIA director John Brennan, who frequently blasts Trump, tweeted: "Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous."

    By giving the House the power to impeach they clearly made it a political decision. High crimes and misdemeanors is obviously a vague term. It does not refer strictly to legally defined crimes because that is an issue for the courts.

    What did they intend?

    Yes, I understand that is his opinion. That does not make it treason, but it got him media coverage. I don't think anybody could commit treason in a speech.

    Lying under oath about an affair in the midst of a special investigation that was meant to investigate a land deal was enough to reach the high crimes and misdemeanor threshold --- which is now why Trump and his supporters have no intentions of him being questioned under oath -- and now they admit Clinton should have never done it either --- they can freely admit this since its been years ago -- so they don't mind you knowing how full of shit they are now...
