If it turns out to be 100% correct and Trump learned but didn't do anything about it, would this be grounds for charges of treason? I actually think so.

Kinda ironic he recently accused Obama of treason for "spying on Trump Tower". Needless to say: Without any proof.


No, it's not treason to not respond to something.  Presidents need some leeway to choose not to act when either intelligence is inconclusive or any available response is likely to make things worse (ex. in the middle of delicate negotiations).

I'm sure you'd say the same thing if this happened under Obama or Hillary's watch.

If I did, would you agree with me or not?

I'll ask again:  Do you think that Presidents should have to worry about being impeached if they are too hesitant to do things that might start a war?

You constantly argue in bad faith so I'm not going to take your bait. If you want to derail the thread find someone else to troll.

If Landslide Lyndon has anything more to add, I'll yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Greece.

There is no need to add anything. Shua is the worst kind of hack: the one who, as you said, tries to disguise his hackery as thoughtful political analysis.

I guess that means you aren't that hackish after all.  No one would ever mistake your posts for  attempts to appear thoughtful.

I am who I am. Never pretended to be something else.
