If you mean Putin, please don't you get down into the conspiracy theory gutter, too. There is no evidence that Putin tried to make Trump president. None.We have the Trump we elected. He opposes our European allies, calling the EU a foe. He is friends with Russia leaders and oligarchs. Trump refuses to criticize the man who tried so hard to help him in the campaign.
On the other hand, those countries seem to be easily antagonized. For example, the mere suggestion that the EU countries should pay, for their defense, what they long ago agreed to pay but have not, causes them to feel insulted.
It's really simple if you read the actual Constitution.
Which Trump did in front of the entire world. So it's a safe bet we have the two required witnesses.

If some turns up, THAT will be the time to start writing like this.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Trump did not commit treason.
“I have president Putin, he just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be," President Trump said...”So I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.”
Those statements do not constitute as treason. This is not to suggest no statements could be ever be treason, but those remarks do not constitute as a violation of allegiance. Those remarks are not attempts to overthrow the government, they do not constitute as taking up arms against the government, spying for a foreign government, sharing government secrets with a foreign government, etcetera.
You must be using a very strict interpretation of the meaning of the agreement which, even if correct, would not change anything about the confrontation.Yes, some European countries have yet to meet the 2024 goal of 2% of their GDP being spent on defense.
No country AGREED to up their percentage to 2% by 2018. Obviously, some countries have done so in advance of the goal date. No country had failed to meet the goal yet.
Aid and Comfort, there's no denying it.Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

But here is what Business Insider magazine says on the matter: "Only five of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 28 member countries last year met the alliance goal of spending at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defense." All the backsliders bought into it.
Yes, the president is right to talk turkey to these supposed allies. They are called our allies every time they get their way, but if they are even questioned about their faithlessness, it is supposed to be wrong of the president to even have brought it up. Baloney.
The entire intelligence community disagrees with you. [/quote
In fact, it does not. To act to try to defeat Clinton is to act to try to elect Trump. Putin has done that.
Don’t act as if the Right doesn’t do the same sort of things.
B+
But, one must understand Trump to rate him that highly.
M-Bob
What makes you think that Russia is our ally?Agreed. As is the case with "collusion", folks don't know the legal definition of "treason". To be an ally of Russia is not the same as committing treason.
Nah, he is what you called a "sucker". The dude is a open book in predictably.Of course not -- he's an employer.
What makes you think that Russia is our ally?
Your position is so confusing.... Do you just accept the allies/enemies status quote based on who's current president.Putin is an ally of Trump, our Commander In Chief, our president, and the author of US foreign policy. Trump cannot commit treason by agreeing with Russia.
Trump wouldn't even be guilty of treason if he recognized the Russian takeover of Crimea and easter Ukraine.
Either Trump and Putin are correct that the alleged Russian meddling is a hoax perpetrated by the US intelligence community, orPutin is an ally of Trump, our Commander In Chief, our president, and the author of US foreign policy. Trump cannot commit treason by agreeing with Russia.

Russia has committed a hostile act against the sovereignty of the United States and Trump has a lot of 'splainin to do, despite the fact that you think he has unilateral authority to nominate our allies.
