The Way Trump and the GOP Deal with Russian Attacks is ‘Textbook Treason’

Trump may deny collusion. But given that this the attack continues, denying it is collusion, distracting from it is collusion, obstructing the investigation of it is collusion — because all these things enable it to go on.

That the president is abetted in his aid for the Russians — again, in the midst of this ongoing attack — by the leadership of the Republican Party makes the situation all the more extraordinary and dangerous. As they seek to undermine the investigation, they serve Russia as directly as if they were officers of the GRU. Some now reportedly seek to impeach Rosenstein on trumped up charges. To attack one of the leaders of our national defense as we are being attacked and to do so to benefit our foreign adversary is textbook treason.

At stake are the results in our 2018 and 2020 elections and the integrity of our political system. This enemy seeks not only to put puppets or weak or deficient leaders in place, it seeks to gain leverage over them as they come to realize they are advertently or not the beneficiaries of the Russian attacks. (We now know clearly how that works.)

They seek to use them to advance their interests on a broad international front (consider their success in achieving this goal thus far in this administration … you need look back no further than this week's NATO Summit.)

Notice how many pundits on MSNBC are saying the term "Russian asset" and "Agent of Russia"?

They need to keep stressing that point. Trump works for Putin. Hillary tried to warn the American people.
