This has to be the biggest and worst espionage case in all of U.S. history, and the worst betrayal of trust ever, not to mention violation of oath of office.

Those who mishandled and sold classified information were speedily tried and sentenced, with no help from judges actively obstructing justice on their behalf. So, short of having phone records and such, there's also tampering involved, even if "subtle".

Everything he has done, and what the GOP as a whole have done and said materially aids Putin.

That is indisputable, since it is public record.

Quite simply, traitors in word and deed.

Of course, I'm not surprised. I knew it was a possibility, but seeing the evidence put together so plainly is a bit of a jolt to the system.

Still hard to believe that any president, even a profoundly bad president, would stoop so low.

Trump's smear and hit job on him was another favor done for Uncle Vlad to take him out - not physically, of course. Peter survived to tell his tale and publish a book denouncing Donald Trump. But alas, this story was greatly under-reported and mis-characterized by the mainstream media, which has a pro-Trump bias.

Republicans Block Rep. Schiff's Motion to Subpoena Interpreter in Trump-Putin Meeting

On Thursday, July 19, Republicans voted down a motion made by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Eric Swalwell in the Intelligence Committee to subpoena the American interpreter and only witness to President Trump's one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump this evening at the American side’s initiative.
July 31, 2019
23:50

The US President offered help in putting out wildfires in Siberia.

The President of Russia expressed sincere gratitude for the kind attention and the offer of help and assistance. Vladimir Putin said he will accept the offer if it becomes necessary. He also told his American colleague that a powerful group of aircraft had been formed in Siberia to fight the wildfires. According to the Emergencies Ministry, solutions have been found to problems with the refuelling and deployment of airplanes and helicopters.

The President of Russia regards the US President’s offer as a sign that it is possible that full-scale bilateral relations will be restored in the future.

The presidents of Russia and the United States agreed to continue contacts in the form of telephone conversations as well as personal meetings.

And it's gotten worse and more devious and more potentially disastrous as he goes. He'll install himself as king, and loot the White House saying everything in there belongs to him because he's king. And that'll only be the beginning. Complete and permanent lifetime immunity for him and for his precious little Ivanka (and MAYBE also the boys).

The first time he was like a kid in a candy store, grabbing at shiny objects he could sell or use
for blackmail or bragging rights. And making backroom illegal deals.

But now he knows how to press the levels of power.
And he knows he has to be installed again to avoid jail.

He will not leave office once he is back in the WH.

Mon Apr 15, 2024, 10:38 AM
Apr 15

"On the morning of February 21, 1994, FBI agents arrested Ames in his car outside his residence. His wife, Rosario, was arrested minutes later in their residence."

"Over the months since his arrest, it has become clear that Aldrich Hazen Ames caused more damage to the national security of the United States than any spy in the history of the CIA."

"October 31, 1995 - CIA Director John Deutch testifies before Congress about the scope of Ames’ espionage. He states that more than 100 US spies were compromised and that tainted intelligence was given to Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Ames got a lot of people killed. How many is the orange one responsible for?
