Do you realize that none of the leaders of the Confederacy faced the death penalty? Jefferson Davis spend a little time in jail. The rest of them went back to Washington.
Now put Trump's statement in that historical context ...
Using subterfuge these un-elected bureaucrats used their positions in violation of their oaths of office and attempted to take down a duly elected President. It would have worked with 90% of former Presidents but Trump is a stoic.
Its called TREASON - no matter how you cut it. Some say its the greatest scandal in US history.
Some do, Rich. Imagine, the biggest election sabotage in US history, one carried out by a former US enemy using KGB tricks to compromise the US political system.
Russia has been fighting a Cold War against the US since the Cold War. It's been doing things like cutting off power to the US embassy in Moscow, refusing to investigate crimes against consular staff, even blocking off traffic to the embassy. Putin has made life hard for US embassy staff. He played these sorts of passive aggressive tactics for the entire Obama administration.
Hillary justifiably called Russia out for their invasion of the Ukraine. Putin never forgave her. So when a fawning, obsequious politician like Trump comes along, Putin puts his KGB tactics behind his campaign. Hacking, illegal financing and FAKE news influencing.
The US won the Cold War, and now this. So
who tried to obstruct an investigation into this?
You guessed it. And who investigated it?
You know that too. Comey, Strozk, McCabe, etc. Most of them card-carrying Republicans, as many senior members of the FBI tend to be.
You're right, Rich. It is indeed the greatest scandal in US history.
You?
