So this Putin meeting?
I knew it would be a media disaster no matter what.
People are literally studying Trump’s BODY LANGUAGE for signs of COLLUSION all over Twitter.
And now John Brennan is accusing Trump of treason.
Yeah… really.
President Donald Trump’s comments during a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday were “treasonous,” former CIA Director John Brennan asserted.
“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors,’” Brennan, a vocal Trump critic, wrote on Twitter.
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

…Really?
“It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
Trump and Putin fielded questions from reporters at a joint summit in Helsinki following a one-on-one meeting earlier in the day.
So, where does the treason come into play?
Trump praised Putin during Monday’s press conference while criticizing the U.S. government and FBI over the election meddling probe. Asked about his past comments that Putin is a “competitor,” Trump told a reporter that “competitor is a compliment.”
Trump also dismissed allegations that his campaign colluded with Russian government agents, calling his investigation into his campaign a “witch hunt.”
“The probe is a disaster for our country. It’s kept us separated,” Trump said.
The comments come after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officials for their role in hacking and disseminating DNC and Clinton campaign emails. The indictment did not identify any Americans.
Wow… so much treason. Or whatever. It’s sloppy. Trump was sloppy here. Not his best.
Buuut here we go:
Please do not tweet the #TreasonSummit hashtag as it might become a top trending topic and embarrass our president while he is engaging in treason at the summit, which is a #TreasonSummit. #TreasonSummit

Trump today committed high crimes and misdemeanors. He is a Russian asset. Putin is 100% in charge. We can’t wait for Mueller. We must remove Trump now.
I’m flying to Boston. Who will join me in the Common for a mass protest at 6pm?#TreasonSummit #25thAmendmentNow

DO IT.
It is time for Democrats to walk out en masse. Business as usual cannot continue.
Every means of peaceful and lawful protest is required in the face of treasonous behavior by the Republican leadership.#HelsinkiSummit #TreasonSummit

After today’s #TreasonSummit the line in the sand is clear and absolute. If you STILL support @realDonaldTrump after this – You are no longer just a fool . . .
You are a domestic enemy of America’s freedom and democracy!#TrumpPutinSummit #ImpeachTrump #TheResistance pic.twitter.com/G5DKg1Vcxg
