Also the image below at Helsinki, where a couple of the Putin-tRump undocumented private meetings took place, as representative of all that started well (long?) before tRump was elected and continued through his presidency to ?. And of course all the private phone calls between the two during tRump's presidency. Plus undocumented calls and meetings with agents of Putin -- including of course Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

We will have to go back to the roots of traitor's rise to power, and name every single cohort who abetted his treason. Any that hold public office should be removed. Any private citizens should be charge with treason. Any military personal should be court-marshalled., even if it means recalling them to active duty to do it. Anyone appointed by traitor, any of his henchmen, should be dismissed from their positions and invstigated for treason. We will never get all of the rats, but we'd better clean house and now.

I am not suggesting the same kind of investigation made by mccarthy in the 1950s. Innocent people were targeted and many lives ruined. For traitor and his criminal henchmen, plenty of clues pointing to an overarching conspiracy to destroy America.
