TRUMP IS GUILTY AS SIN AND A THREAT TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

TRUMP IS GUILTY AS SIN AND A THREAT TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
.
Donald Trump's behavior says it all. An innocent man would simply quietly wait out the Russian investigation and review the results. But not Trump - he's been firing people, threatening to fire others, literally climbing the walls, and totally preoccupied with the investigation to the exclusion of everything else. Why? He's publically humiliated his own Attorney General for recusing himself and failing to maintain control of the investigation. Why?  He’s also been slandering our most respected government institutions who have a mandate to protect the American people. Why?  And he seems to be furious at everybody BUT the Russians who attacked our democracy. Why?
.
And why did Trump try to set up back channel communications with the Russians that was outside the hearing of our intelligence services? In addition, Trump has refused to put sanctions into place that was voted in against Russia as the bipartisan will of the 2017 congress, and that he was FORCED to sign. Why?  Is Trump afraid of Russia for some reason? It sure seems like it, and it is essential to our national security that we ask ourselves, Why?  Trump struts around like Mr. Big Stuff when he’s calling Americans out of their names on twitter, but he whimpers like a wounded kitten when confronted by Putin. Why?

.
Further, Trump tweeted that "If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!" If he recognizes those facts as part of Russia's agenda, why is it that his own agenda seems to be in perfect sync with that of the Russians rather than what's in the best interest of the United States? For the entire year that he's been in office he's mounted a relentless attack on all of America's most cherished government institutions, from his attacks on congress, to his unconscionable attacks on the FBI, CIA, and our other intelligence agencies, to his brutal undermining of our judiciary, justice department, and the press. Why?

SHEPARD SMITH OF FOX NEWS GOES AFTER TRUMP FOR NOT CONDEMNING RUSSIA IN TWEETSTORM
.
SHEPARD SMITH
Even FOX News seems to agree that Trump's behavior in this matter is peculiar. Shepard Smith of FOX News went after Trump for not condemning Russia in his tweetstorm subsequent to the announcement of the 13 Russian indictments.  Smith said:
.
"The president spent the weekend defending himself, misrepresenting the truth and attacking others from his phone in Florida. " Smith went on to say, "Trump attacked the Department of Justice, the FBI, national security adviser H.R. McMaster, as well as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former President Obama and Oprah Winfrey.  Yet, "He did not attack Vladimir Putin or Russia, nor did he express concern that the Russians attacked the United States. Nor did he pledge in any way to put measures in place to stop future attacks."

.
Trump was involved with the Russians long before the election, that's why Mueller indicted these 13 Russians. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It goes much deeper than just Russians interfering in our election. That’s just a small part of a much larger conspiracy. That explains why conservatives are telling Trump to simply pardon everybody involved in the Russian investigation. Why would they want to pardon people who attacked our democracy unless Trump was involved and they don’t want it to come out in plea bargains? 
.
It's beginning to look like Putin is controlling Trump, and thereby, this nation. That’s why the Russians wanted him to win the presidency in the first place. It looks like the Russians have dirt on Trump, and they’ve turned him into the Manchurian Candidate. Even as we speak, Trump could be filling our government with Russian operatives, much like he did his campaign, and they, in turn, could be hiring others, so Putin will still have influence over the inner-workings of our government regardless to what happens to Trump. This is a serious situation, so the American people needs to take it seriously - very seriously.  This is not just politics as usual.  This is a fight for American democracy that is just as serious as WWII.

IT WAS THE RUSSIANS WHO PULLED TRUMP OUT OF BANKRUPTCY AND WENT INTO BUSINESS WITH HIM. THAT IS WHY TRUMP DIDN'T WANT MUELLER DIGGING INTO HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE DUBIOUS FRIENDS OF DONALD TRUMP

Retired Major General Paul Eaton penned what some have referred to as a "jaw-dropping" response to Trump's call for a military parade. The general said the following:

MAJOR GENERAL PAUL EATON
.
“Donald Trump has continually shown himself to have authoritarian tendencies, and this is just another example, For someone who just declared it was ‘treasonous’ to not applaud him, and for someone who has, in the past, admired the tactics of everyone from Saddam Hussein to Vladimir Putin, it is clear that a military parade isn’t about saluting the military — it’s about making a display of the military saluting him.
.
“The military is not Donald Trump’s to use and abuse in this way.” The retired major general went on to say that the military would not be “reduced to stagecraft to prop up Donald Trump’s image.
.
“Unfortunately, we do not have a commander in chief, right now, as much as we have a banana republic strong man.”
.
Trump has also been shunned by some of the United States' oldest allies:

.

So why is Donald Trump working with the Russians to de-legitimize the entire United States government?  At this point only Trump, the Russians, and Investigator Mueller know for sure.  But here’s something  the American people should know - Anyone who supports Trump’s effort, for any reason, is un-American, and the enemy of every American patriot who’s ever died for this country - and I’m not a Democrat.
