    Hillary Clinton's former running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, said Donald Trump Jr. may have committed treason when he agreed to meet with a Russian lawyer under the pretense of getting dirt on Clinton.

    "We are now beyond obstruction of justice," the Virginia Democrat told CNN Tuesday. "This is moving into perjury, false statements and even potentially treason."

    Tim Kaine has a law degree from Harvard!

    "moving into" perjury, false statements

    "potentially" treason

    Once Jr is convicted on all three counts, Sr will pardon him.

    Kushner lied on his disclosures about meeting with any Russians. I suspect Kain was talking about him since DonJ isn't in the campaign.


    And it's probably best to cite where you get your quotes from to provide some context. Thanks.

    As did Flynn and Sessions. The firing of Comey looks a little more nefarious now doesn't it? And Preet Bahara's as well if you know who and what he was involved with investigating. Anyone want to connect the dot between Preet Bahara and the Russian lawyer that met with Jr., Manafort and Kushner? Connecting dots is fun.

    How does Tim Kaine get to treason based on those emails?

    This is part of the problem, always jumping to worst case for everything makes you the boy who cried wolf.

    This is bad news for trump jr and trump, but this isn't treason.

    It's not even bad news for them.  Nobody cares.  The supporters see it as a deflection and "not letting him do his job."  The middle is numb.  Those who do care don't need more convincing.

    let's clarify what you're putting forth...
    accepting a single meeting with a Russian attorney (let's assume she is Putin's personal attorney) at the request of a friend for opposition dirt is actively working with a foreign power to subvert and influence the us presidential election?
    is Ukraine considered a "foreign power"?

    How do you know it is a single meeting? And it's not just "dirt." Email says Russian Gov was wanting to assist the campaign. This is probably tip of the iceberg stuff.

    Perhaps....I dont think so,but I'm not a lawyer and I didnt even stay at a Holiday inn last night.

    But I really doubt it gets to that.  I've been wrong before....I thought Trump wouldn't win the GOP nomination....or the election....so my track record on this guy sucks.

    If Trump knew of the collusion with Russia, this scandal would be bigger than Watergate.

    You're selectively or electively forgetting all the other threads of this tangled web. Evidence of absence is not absence of evidence. Context is everything.

    Not yet....but I would be surprised if more did not happen. None of these Trump people have any shred of credibility at this point. The "fake news" keeps diming them out....
