protect him from the press and questions. Has Trump made a peep or tweet today??

(8,554 posts)More than a few of them are saying today that the "leakers" have committed treason. I listened to Sen Jim Risch tell Wolfie this afternoon that whoever talked to the national media is a weasel ... "The weasel is not the President of the United States. It's the traitor who disclosed these facts to the Washington Post."
That guy is on the Sen. Intelligence Comm. and the Foreign Relations Comm. and he thinks what Trump did was completely appropriate and legal, even that he had an obligation to talk with Russia about it.
They're all snakes in the grass. Risch is from Idaho and is most likely saying exactly what the majority of his constituents love to hear.
