[It looks like a sea change may have occurred in the RR comment streams. Absent are the vacuous critiques of everything not supporting our country’s headlong rush to socialism. These leftwingers seldom countered the message, and always condemned the messengers. And this absence also appears to have reduced the zeal of our commenting capitalists who usually mass to defend open markets, liberty, and smaller government. Perhaps it is time for a respite from the raucous. gjr]

Paul would have a hard time understanding the difference between a 2 year old saying “I’m gonna kill you” with a 20 year old with a knife at your throat saying “I’m gonna kill you”.
But, but, but – the words are the EXACT same!!!
Poor Paul – I knew it was he as those were the same words he has posted so many times.
Just as Marley was doomed to drag around the chains he forged in life, so Paul is doomed to drag around all the dead equines he has acquired in his life.

Pathetic response Gregory-dictionary defination-really. You can do better than that. The definition of Treason as defined by law is:
“Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the US, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Conviction requires two witnesses or a confession in open court.[2]
Penalty: U.S. Code Title 18: Death,[8] or not less than 5 years’ imprisonment and not more than life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States will permanently lose the right to ever hold or run for public office anywhere in any capacity within the United States.[9][10]

Here’s another take on treason:
“Anyone that does not believe that the Russians have tons of personal information about Trump and his associates are hopelessly naive and don’t have a clue about international espionage. How can you possibly imagine they don’t? Totally explains Trumps ass kissing and cuddling of Putin. Some might call it treason. Of course some of you might not consider Russia an enemy but that’s another question. George, you of all people with your Estonian heritage should be especially concerned.
Definition of treason
“The betrayal of one’s own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies.”

We’ve circled the ‘treason barn’ several times before. Clearly, the word is bandied about by both sides in a wide variety of situations and contexts. Every now and then TV talking heads take up the matter without resolution. My approach in these things is to give my own definition of it so readers can understand my use of it in a commentary. This has been my practice for poorly understood words and concepts since I was taught it, beginning as a freshman studying physics.
If you have a specific definition of ‘treason’ and would like to use it to assess the correctness of its public uses by various people, then that would be a helpful contribution. Else, just asking people whether this or that utterance of treason was appropriate, appears as a preamble for another boring gotcha game.

Perhaps treason is not the accurate word in legal terms. Abuse of power will be the charges most face, along with obstruction of justice, leaking.classifoed materials, perjury, conspircy, etc. Make no mistake that Abuse of Power will be the easyist charge to get convictions on.
Bottomline: the defendants will owe millions more in legal fees than they ever earned in their lives. They will be broke and forced to move in with relatives when this is all said and done. The Feds will keep coming at them over and over again until they are destitude, at a minimum.
Then Congress will revoke their pensions of the convicted ones. This is one of the biggest scandals in US history. Makes Watergate look like Romper Room. Right up there with Presidential assasinations.

It’s tempting to make Peter the fall guy. But we know it is so much bigger than one agent who spearheaded the Clinton e-mail probe, wrote out Comey’s Gross Negligence draft, then spearheaded the Russian Collusion Delusion. More details dribble in,
“Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News on Thursday:
“There was a defensive briefing of candidate Trump on Aug. 17 of 2016. And I can tell you what he wasn’t told: He wasn’t warned about a Russia investigation that Peter Strzok had opened 18 days earlier.
“Why would Peter Strzok, who would participate at Jim Comey’s direction in a defensive briefing designed to protect and warn a candidate, be the same person who is in fact at that time already investigating the candidate’s campaign? That shouldn’t happen. There should be answers to those questions.”
https://www.dailywire.com/news/47868/breaking-new-damaging-info-comes-out-disgraced-fbi-ryan-saavedra?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dwbrand
The above is not breaking news. All this stuff has been out there for a couple of years.
From Dec. 18, 2017.
“That text is dated August 15, 2016. Strzok texted Page, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in [deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe’s] office that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…”
“This looks an awful lot like motivation for launching an investigation into Trump in order to sink Trump as a hedge against Trump’s victory. The FBI’s investigation into Russian governmental interference in the election began in July 2016, just weeks before Strzok’s text message. And that means that there is now more of a smoking gun of FBI corruption against Trump than there is of Trump colluding with Russia.
“How can Mueller come back from that? He’s fired Strzok and Page, but if the investigation was initially a political hit job, how can it now turn into something good and decent, particularly in the absence of a smoking gun regarding collusion? It’s not just that this is fruit of the poisonous tree — there’s no fruit to show, just the poisonous tree. And as Victor Davis Hanson has written, the Mueller team is filled top-to-bottom with political activists who have a specific anti-Trump agenda.
“All of which means that President Trump isn’t wrong to suspect that Mueller wants to aim for a political skull-blow against him. Trump could theoretically use these texts as a reason for firing Mueller altogether — and that wouldn’t be completely unjustified. It would be politically unwise. At this point, Trump’s best tactic is to sit tight — now, no matter what, half the country is going to believe that Mueller’s investigation was never motivated by truth. That’s a win for Trump, and an automatic loss for Mueller.”

Well,,, SPILL IT!!! No one is stopping you from “getting the facts out”.. Maybe just a little problem about actually having any facts?
“House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Friday “there certainly is” justification for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump, but said it was critical for the American public to agree before launching the process.
During an interview on WNYC, Nadler, whose committee would lead impeachment proceedings, cautioned the move, noting the importance of having the American public on board first.
“Impeachment is a political act, and you cannot impeach a president if the American people will not support it,” said Nadler, D-N.Y. “The American people, right now, do not support it because they do not know the story. They don’t know the facts.” ”
