It Is Time To Seriously Consider Treason Charges Against Republicans [View all]

[meow2u3]

It is becoming increasingly clear that among Republicans holding political office, there are thus far only two senators that can be considered patriots. A loose, but apropos, the definition of a patriot is any person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors in good times and bad. Conversely, there are clear signs that many in the Republican movement are culpable of giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies; what 18 U.S. Code § 2381 considers “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.”

Of course this issue of “treason” is about more than dishonest Donald Trump’s close affiliation with and stated intent to “adhere to America’s enemies and give the Russians aid;” it is also about the Republicans who aided the Russians to interfere with America’s democracy. The aid to an enemy was in not alerting the American public of a hostile foreign power’s involvement in electing an acknowledged “friend” of Russia, one who may be an American citizen, but has absolutely no sense of “allegiance to the United States.”

First, if anyone has any idea that Trump is not intent on “giving aid and comfort” to Russia just look at dirty Don’s proposed selection of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. Tillerson has close ties, and owes allegiance, to Russian President Vladimir Putin; a dictator Tillerson considers a friend he has known for over two decades. Tillerson is regarded as such a friend to Russia that Putin awarded him the country’s Order of Friendship in 2013; the year prior to Washington’s relationship breakdown with Moscow over Putin’s aggressive annexation of Crimea and its “shadow war” in Ukraine. An aggression Trump condones and hinted that if he was elected then America would help Putin expedite his conquests by abandoning its European allies.
