      Trump told CBS news today that the European Union was more of a foe than Russia.

      Call Trump whatever you want. But Corn was calling Paul a traitor, not Trump. There's a great deal of information suggesting Trump did conspire with Russia. I'm aware of none showing Rand Paul did.

          Paul was on TV delivering Russia Today talking points this morning. Batting for the other team is generally considered at least traitorous if not actually treasonous.

          It's an RT talking point that we should protect our elections?

          He countered the Russian election interference news with the classic Putin whataboutism: "what about Hillary interfering in tve Kremlin elections in 2011." A well-known textbook Kremlin talking point.

          Also critically important for people to understand that Putin believes that if they want to be even marginally intelligent on this stuff.

          Don’t need to be Putin’s hype man to get that point across. If I was an American patriotic Senator I’d just say “Putin believes X.” He’s providing comfort to the enemy. I’m sure Putin was very happy with Paul’s performance.

          Not only that, we all know he’d be singing a different tune if Russia aided the Dems, HRC was POTUS and there was evidence her entire family conspired to steal the WH. Maybe he’s not Russia & GOP over country but he’s definitely GOP over country and that seems traitorous too.

          Yes. In context, Rand Paul's comments offer aid & comfort to an enemy who is in open state of hostility with us and CONTINUES to attack our electoral systems. Which will benefit Rand Paul's party, and him personally. Traitor is appropriate even if it won't ever be proved in ct.

          I am going to ask again why these people willing to trumpet the talking points and agenda of the Kremlin are given a platform on TV @CNNSotu Rand Paul personally taking credit for keeping Georgia out of NATO and preventing war with Russia is 100% pure Kremlin garbage https://twitter.com/MollyMcKew/status/1018474833728999424 …

          If you construe GRU attacks as a Casus Belli, then domestic participants in that (ongoing) attack would be reasonably termed traitors.

          Giving succor and cover to traitors — aiding and abetting after the fact— can also be called treacherous.

          They are many ways to betray one’s country. A congressman knowingly & purposefully aligning one’s messages with adversarial propaganda is a betrayal.

          I dunno traitor seems like a great word for someone who betrays their country or friend, someone who sells out to the enemy and backstabs us. Ryan calls this a witch hunt & wants to just focus on prevention but the only ones trying to figure what to prevent he wants to shut down.
