So Bountygate is out in the open

[NCDem47]

Let's hope reputable media sources and elected leaders won't let go of what happened in the past (who knew what, when?).

But, starting this minute, can we also start grilling the Trump administartion and Republicans about what they plan to do in retaliation? Now that we all know, what actions can we inflict on Putin? That needs to penetrate the public discussion as well.

You know Trump wants to just ride this out and introduce some outrage du jour to deflect. I suspect this breaking news on Friday may have been partially the reason he did not go to New Jersey. And BTW, NO mention of this on Friday's NBC Nightly News and it was buried deep into the broadcast of ABC's World News Tonight as a "blurb" on Saturday evening. I don't watch a lot of cable news where this may be getting more play, but I get a feeling this just isn't getting traction in overall mass media.

1. As other DUers have pointed out there is no bounty gate

There is treason plain and simple

10. Yes, this is treason. Trumps entire presidency has been treasonous.

I feel like I have been living in a nut house the past four years.

12. Hear! Hear!!

TREASON:

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

This is far, far beyond a "BountyGate" thing

4. Somehow I don't think...

retweeting his supporters shouting "white power" is the best strategy for him. Yet, that's the course he's chosen.

5. Put the ball in Donnie's small hands and keep asking...

... how he will retaliate against Russia.

Let him bury himself, as he's wont to do.
