https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/990040290907119617.htmlThere are bombshell revelations deeply damaging to Trump in the just-released HPSCI report written by Trump's allies and agents in the House. This thread discusses them via a deep dive into the timeline of events the GOP now seeks to obscure. Hope you'll read and share.
It's now clear that Trump NatSec chief Jeff Sessions receivedwith Trumpthe US intelligence community's August 17, 2016 briefing calling Russia a "threat." 22 days later, Sessions secretly met with the Russian ambassador. No other Armed Services Senator met with Kislyak in 2016.
Sessions' testimony confirms he discussed Ukraine (sanctions) with Kislyak in his secret meeting of September 8, 2016the one he lied to Congress about. But we didn't know until now that the intelligence community had told him 22 days earlier that Russia was an *active* threat.
So Trump's top national security advisor was told Russia was an *active* threat against the US and *almost immediately thereafter* set up a secret meeting with the Russians, which he later lied about under oath. During the secret meeting he discussed sanctions policy with Russia.

(22,951 posts)"not at war with Russia." If Russia had been declared an active threat against the US, that argument falls by the wayside.

(12,344 posts)At least that's what courts have always ruled. Maybe we need a 21st century extension to that, but I think we'd need a constitutional amendment for that. I don't see Mueller trying to muddy his already strong case for other crimes by trying to extend treason to situations far beyond the contemplation of the Constitution.
Me.
