First there was the no collusion argument - that is disappearing.
Now - it can't be treason because Russia is not an enemy.
The real rats are scurrying and it's fun to watch.

He took the side of Putin and Russia over America's side.
As a figure of speech, it was nothing short of treasonous.

(111,095 posts)Brennan is a common citizen, just like you and I. He can say whatever he wants, so long as he doesn't give away national secrets. Donald Trump cannot take away his First Amendment rights. I'm hoping he takes it to Court.

(268,998 posts)he has credibility. His words also carry significant weight in intelligence circles. They hate people with credibility speaking out and exposing their fascist ways.
Sista speak the truth !

..The Republicans weren't even going to give Obama a chance. Well Trump had his time in 18 months..and he has proved that he is treasonous even before he got in.. and also after Trump got in...
....So the Republicans will get it back, worse. Worse because Trump and his family have broken the law. Trump is the rookie who don't know sh*t about what is legal and illegal......
.....And Mueller is the old time "Manager of the Decade." He has seen it all, from rookie time in law enforcement, to the top of the league. He knows all the tricks from top to the bottom. He knows because he has seen the game..it is an ugly game, of cheating and law breaking..
I think he will get Trump and his gang of criminals. Some will go to prison, some will find a way out....But when it is over, and it will be over sometime......
The name "Trump" will be worthless, yes less, then a pile of manure getting ready to become fertilizer. Worthless, than a junk car on the way to the dump...that car is worth something, but the Trump name will become like a Typhoid Epidemic, you stay away as far as you can ....No one will buy it, because it is will become totally worthless.....It won't be Trump Tower, the name will be changed...Trump will not get another show, and his team will go down..as far down as one can imagine..and that is pretty far down!!!!

(76 posts)Our way of life. Our most basic principals. Our system of governance.
In my opinion that's an act of war, and Treason does indeed apply.
Our government, and others like us around the world just have not figured out how to deal with Russian meddling in our affairs.
Yet who will declare war when no bullets have been fired? No bombs dropped? No land taken over on? That i think is one question our Government MUST answer.
Yet instead of trying to secure our most basic ideal of "Of the people, by the people, for the people," these Bozos are pushing tax cuts for people that don't deed them, walls to keep out people that are truly oppressed, and caging the children of asylum seekers. All the while protecting the scumbag that continues reaping profits from Russia's incursion into our Presidential election

I'm content with "Lock them up."

(4,353 posts)the whole treason thing might be swept under the carpet. As Brennan has alluded, his statements are derived from media reports after he left the CIA. It's all out there. All you have to do is take a little time and do some digging.
We MUST get to the bottom of this as a country and if it is treason, it must be called treason and prosecuted as such. What happens if we don't?
