You have to try to commit treason.
It's one of the few crimes explicitly defined in the Constitution.
Unfortunately, I doubt that we'll ever see him charged.
I'm staying positive - I think his support is going to waver in the coming months and I don't think he's going to win the election.
I have noticed the loudest, most obnoxious supporters have grabbed the microphone and are screaming. But, the middle of the road folks seem to have abandoned him.
Don’t rest on your laurels. We need to drive as many people as possible to vote for the Democratic Party to the polls this November. I don’t give a fuck about you if you vote traitor GOP. Kiss my ass and stay home, you do nothing but make the world worse.
That is what we all thought in 2016.
Anyone under the age of 40 would rather eat glass than answer a pollster, so it is really hard to know for sure.
I think calling for an overthrow of the government counts. But what do I know?
It doesn't count. You need to wage war or aid/comfort the states enemies.
If they can prove he did something with the documents, eg sold Intel to Iran, for example, there's likely a case. Saudi it gets complicated since the US doesn't call them an enemy.
Either way, nothing in the case comes close to justifying a treason charge, though he clearly was acting against the best interests of the country.
Well, there's the whole "comfort part" to the people who tried to do it. Its probably not enough, but he said that he loved them and has since called for the freeing of the "January 6th hostages".
Anyway, as the other guy mentioned, Trump is on record of requesting a list of agents, a number of those people ending up dead, and this was around one of the times that Putin met with him. And remember, Trump had no response for the reporting that Putin had put out a bounty on US personnel abroad....
What about selling a list of undercover agents to Putin?
That one there is pretty much "on the nose".
Of course, Trump intentionally didn't let them record transcripts of his meetings, which is not suspicious at all.
