Accusing "people" of "Treason" in an email is wrong. Trump wrote this yesterday,:

"It is now finally time to turn the tables and bring justice to some very sick and dangerous people who have committed very serious crimes, perhaps even Spying or Treason"

..This tweet, in my opinion, steps over the line. For the President of the U.S.A. to accuse some people of being "dangerous" and .."committed very serious crimes"...like "Treason"....is wrong. Who are, "some people?" What does this mean? Could this one tweet incite violence? .Is this tweet, in of itself, "illegal?"

... This tweet is there for all to see. I wonder what lawyers think about this one? Is this like yelling "fire in a crowded theater.?" Could this incite some people to hurt others? Who are the "dangerous people who have committed very serious crimes, perhaps even, "Treason" that Trump refers to?

at the moment of the spewing so his default is "some people". And surely there must be "some people" out there regardless of their association to his crazed mindset.

down with the force of our Justice system on people who sought to protect our nation from enemy interference.

Next it will be us -- those who are concerned about his administration's corrupt agenda and therefore dissent. But we are stronger than him. He may wreak some havoc beforehand, but we will ultimately get him and the rest of his corrupt family and goons.
