Trump's actions against the people of the United States at the behest of Putin to destroy the country is war. The overthrowing of our government in behest of Putin is sedition.

Like the time he fired the head of the FBI: The meeting came May 10, 2017, the day after King Trump fired the “real nut job," the evidently honest FBI Director James Comey. Trump did not invite the nation's vaunted Free Press. The facts are courtesy of TASS.

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

What they really said.

Then traitor Trump talked with the real top dog of ALL the above, Vladimir Putin. Again, in secret.

I bet they long ago reached understanding through money laundering and tax dodging.

As long as he is acting in an official capacity, Trump is untouchable.
