http://thehill.com/homenews/house/397456-hoyer-trump-committed-treason-in-helsinkiHoyer: Trump committed 'treason' in Helsinki
By Mike Lillis - 07/17/18 01:52 PM EDT
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday accused President Trump of committing treason during the president's meeting a day earlier with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland.
I agree with John Brennan, who said that it was nothing short of treasonous, Hoyer told reporters in the Capitol, referring to the former CIA director.
It is the duty of every patriot who loves their country to stand up and speak out against this dangerous and dishonest behavior, he added. The emperor has no clothes, no ethics, no integrity, no common sense.
With his comments, Hoyer became the highest-ranking Democratic lawmaker to accuse Trump of treason against the country he leads. But Hoyer also stopped short of urging impeachment hearings against the president, as some liberal members of the Democratic Caucus have been urging for months.

Don't be "measured" here, Dems. Use the word. If a Democratic president did half of what this criminal lowlife traitor did, the GOP would be constructing gallows across from the White House!

(1,957 posts)4. What Trump did yesterday was akin to
A man having his home robbed. The police identifying the perp by his finger prints and find he has a long rap sheet for burglary, including other homes on that street. But then, the home owner rushes to the perp's side to proclaim that person's innocence while claiming his own wife and kids were probably the real robbers, and that the cops are "in on" the frame job.
