Trump Calls For ‘Long Jail Sentences’ For Officials Involved in Russia Probe: ‘This Was TREASON!’

Isn't it odd how that works?

 

I won't be getting a lesson in anything. Trump's history says it all. He may abuse his authority and that is not a lesson in respect.

 

The penalty for treason is lethal injection (federal level).

Or, for military members, it can also include life in prison.

Its a serious charge.

 

Agreed. I thought hanging was still an acceptable method of execution at the federal level.

Does anyone know?

 

He's got a bunch of really good lawyers.

 

The last liberals executed for treason were electrocuted.

A shame the LW didn't care about Russian interference back then when it mattered.

 

This should be something we all agree on. No doubt democrats support this.

 

But of course you are... similar minds that don't understand words have specific definitions and you cannot make them mean what you want them to mean... regardless of the amount of repetition....

 

You'd have to ask a Democrat, but this is an example of a coup attempt, for the definition challenged

SNIP
During the coup, over 300 people were killed[40] and more than 2,100 were injured. Many government buildings, including the Turkish Parliament and the Presidential Palace, were bombed from the air.[60] Mass arrests followed, with at least 40,000 detained,[40][61]including at least 10,000 soldiers and, for reasons that remain unclear, 2,745 judges.[62][63]

Wrong again. What the latest court decision said was that they can stay in Mexico while being processed but once in the States and claiming Asylum they cannot be deported until they have a hearing which could take 3 to 4 years and now more since 100,000 a month are crossing.

 

My goodness, but you Trumpists sure do get carried away taking Trump's hyperbole seriously (maybe it's just wishful thinking, I don't know). I'm not going to counter the Trumpian hyperbole with my own hyperbole, I'm just going to state the facts. In terms of the true legal definitions of the terms, there has been no coup attempt and no one has committed any act that constitutes treason. Removing a President from office through the impeachment process is not a "coup" because it is a Constitutionally defined process - just as is an election. The constitution defines treason very specifically in Article III: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

 

Sorry that is not how the constitution define treason.

Giving aid and comfort to our enemies seems on it face to apply to Trump an his merry men interactions with the Russians far more then FBI agents doing their job.

 

Really good lawyers won't work for him because he doesn't pay his bills and doesn't take needed advice. He probably had to give this latest group of lawyers one hell of an advance.

 

Do you deny that Trump said he would put these fake asylum seekers in tent cities. He has not put them in tent cities. Therefore, Trump is a lier.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals handed President Trump's administration a win on Tuesday after it ruled the government can send asylum-seekers back to Mexico to wait for a court to adjudicate their petitions.

Sorry. You are wrong. And if you are right then where are Trump's tent cities? Face it the con man is now bussing these people the hinterland ensuring they will be here forever.

 

An how the constitution define treason it only seems to fit the Trump people if anyone.

 

His last layer is being send to jail.

 

Trump should not have lowered himself to the Dems treason cry. This wasn’t treason, but certainly, potentially one of the most horrible things to happen to our republic

 

For an affirmative application an illegal has 45 days to apply for asylum then the requirement is to set a court date within 180 days which is a date that currently cannot be met. At that point they are either determined a valid asylum seeker and a court date set (often 3 to 4 years away) or deported immediately. After that hearing they can wait in Mexico for their court date so currently none can be sent back until a court date is set. For defensive applications it takes even longer.

 

Who sets the court date?

 

USCIS. At ports of entry it can be immediate as far as sending unqualified asylum seekers back if the officer decides so.

From the Article.

The petition has to be applied for first then the USCIS has to decide if the petition is valid at which point they are given a court date. That is when they can be sent back to Mexico to wait for their court date.

Coup de théâtre then.

 

LOL, treason. You cons sure have some imaginations.

 

Frankly, the person closest to any remote definition of treason is still Mike Flynn...

Let's all remember what he did at the end of the day. He had an allowed conversation with the Russian ambassador over a topic he was, by law, not allowed to engage in, directing a foreign governments' response to a lawful order by the current US government, of which he was not yet a part.

I.E. A clear violation of the Logan Act, as reported to Don McGahn in Jan 2017

SNIP
The Logan Act is a 1799 law that calls for the fine or imprisonment of private citizens who attempt to intervene without authorization in disputes or controversies between the United States and foreign governments.

Mike Flynn is the only one from this period who will be thought of as committing a treasonous act... and even he didn't commit a treasonous act.

Trump is a moron for using the word in this context, but he's a moron 99% of the time he speaks...
