He was on Trump's transition team. He may well be on the list of "incidental collects."

They are causing so much confusion and disruption that the investigation can't proceed.
Is there no justice in the World?
Can they get away with absolute treason without any Repercussions?

Loudly and with malice by every single member of the Democratic Party and the news media.

You can play partisan games, fine, but when TREASON is on the menu, you don't mess around with America.
