1. It wasn't a death threat
2. he wasn't talking about the whistleblower
"He's like a spy"
"You know what we used to do to spies"
The intent is pretty darn clear. Just because he talks smoothly doesn't get him off the hook.
Doesn't "threat" imply some attempt to communicate to the person you are threatening?
Okay...So....Trump needs to directly say "I want that whistleblower KILLED!" Otherwise he's completely innocent. Thanks for having such a low bar.
way to strawman and avoid the question
Fine -
1. What exactly is the punishment "in the old days" for Treason?
2. If he wasn't referring to the whistleblower as the "spy" then who was he talking about?
1. has no bearing on whether it was a threat.
He was talking about the person who shared the information with the whistleblower. Did you listen to the recording?
Wow, that is some max level deflection.
