Historian explains how Trump and his media enablers could be charged with treason

[meow2u3]

Presidential historian and former director of the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library Timothy Naftali told CNN’s Ana Cabrera on Saturday that if allegations that President Donald Trump collaborated with Russia to skew the 2016 election are true, then Trump could credibly be charged with treason.

“There’s no precedent for a set of indictments regarding a foreign intervention in one of our elections,” Naftali said, regarding special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russians on charges of interfering with the 2016 election. “So we’re in uncharted waters anyway.”

Naftali went on to say that the charges laid out by Mueller constitute a clear attempt to usurp the democratic process of the United States. It’s a matter, he said, of public record.

“That means that any attempt by an American citizen right now, whoever it is, to undermine the Mueller investigation, you have to interpret as a way to help Russia,” Naftali said.

2. I hope all of this does not get pushed to the wayside, like the GOP just sits on it. Hopefully

there will be dramatic changes in the balance of congress with the mid-term elections and then it can be cleaned up.

3. It will be interesting

to see if ANY politician (OK, "elected representative" ) has the balls to lead this fight........................

I'm not holding out hope - those that I see now only care about CYA - meaning their own a** (seat at the food table).
