Trump and Russia: What to expect from Mueller in 2019

[demmiblue]

One ex-federal prosecutor said he is beginning to believe conspiracy with Russian election meddling is not the most serious crime Mueller is investigating.

Republican nominee in late July 2016, the FBI warned him that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would attempt to spy on and infiltrate his campaign.

It was a standard briefing, the kind routinely given to presidential candidates, capped with an admonition that Trump should call the FBI if he learned of any unusual approaches from foreigners.

But there was something the FBI didn't tell him.

The bureau just recently had opened counterintelligence investigations into four Trump advisers suspected of improper interactions with Russians — a fact, then-secret, that emerged much later in Congressional testimony.

1. What's more serious than treason?

2. Letting a hostile foreign power determine every step of our foreign policy -

and doing this for personal profit?

3. Wouldn't that fall under the treason umbrella?

4. I think treason only applies when war has been declared.

If so, this is separate from that since neither Russia, SA or Israel are in that category but all wanted drumpf to win and contributed illegally to those ends so drumpf would follow their demands on the world stage and not go by what's good for USA, but what's good for these foreign countries and him personally and forget about the greater good.
