When is someone going to call TREASON?

isn't it perfectly clear that Trump works for Putin and the Russian mob to keep their money rolling into his laundramat? His latest purge of our Intelligence professionals is outrageous. When is a Dem candidate going to call him a traitor?

Trump is SO OBVIOUSLY a russian agent, and has filled our country and our airwaves with russian operatives with impunity! He is destroying our country for the benefit of russia!! Why doesn't the military or the security agencies put a stop to him?

"If it doth flourish none dare call it treason"

I think that's correct. Forget who said it, but I believe he was British.

Anyway, witness Faux News and the Congressional Republicans.
