Russian State TV brags about "installing" Nationalists worldwide, including POtuS.



#Russia's state TV:
Panelist points out that the leading countries of the world are now headed by the politicians with nationalist leanings, mentions Trump.
With sarcastic satisfaction, state TV host Evgeny Popov adds:
"Putin installed them. It's all thanks to our interference."

It would 'fit' if it were you or I. Trust and believe.

Only the penalty that Congress determined for treason includes mention of war. The definition of treason in the Constitution does not. Therefore, treason is broader in the Constitution than in U.S. Code. Now, get enough Congress critters together to define the penalty for treason under circumstances not governed by the same rules as acts of war.
