Why aren't the pundits calling it what it is? TREASON and SEDITION.

SEDITION. Conduct which is directed against a government and which tends toward insurrection but does not amount to treason. Treasonous conduct consists of levying war against the United States or of adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

What's it going to take before the people with the microphones start calling out tRump on his aiding russia, not just in helping them get a stronger hold in Ukrane, but also by his decisions to pull out of Syria the way he did, to let Russia AND Iran get a hold there. There are so many times he has given "aid and comfort" to the russians, it's hard to count.

Is keeping with All-Soviet Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Leningrammemes, presenting real pecking order in Oval Office, courtesy of TASS, day after “real nut job” Comey was fired, because no US reporters were made aware of event.



”President” Trump meets with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (left) and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak at the White House on May 10.

Report: Trump Told Russians He Fired 'Nut Job' Comey Because Of Investigation

What they really said.

Trump talked with the real top dog of ALL the above this week, Vladimir Putin. Again, in secret.

And I'm not sure the President can be seditious against his own government.

There's plenty of accurate epithets that can be blasted at these criminals- Extortionists, grifters, liars, conspirators, etc.

Hyperbole just weakens the impact of the actual crimes.
