2016 Postmortem

I just think running around yelling traitor and treason does nothing but further politicize that investigation. Conduct the investigation and then decide what crimes were committed, not the other way around.

And I should add that assuming that any time a foreign government sticks its nose into US politics with the intent of influencing the outcome is a traitorous act is a slippery slope. During the campaign, the leaders of Italy and France both publicly endorsed Clinton, presumably with the intent to influence the election? If those endorsements had been encouraged by and/or coordinated with the campaign, would it be treason? I don't think so.

Russia isn't our friend. But we're not at war with them. And even if the hacking itself is considered "an act of war," then we're at war with China and Iran (both of which have engaged in cyber-attacks against the US government and/or its citizens). But I take issue with anyone claiming that attempts to change our relationship with either of those countries is giving them aid and comfort.
