To get to the point, is Donald Trump a traitor? Can a person unknowingly be a party to treason through incompetence and naivete? Is the latter an excuse or cover for treasonous acts? An honest observer is hard-pressed to evaluate the administration’s actions to date as benign. The Russian involvement in the Trump election victory, whether it caused the result or simply swelled its tide, is problematic. Being the candidate preferred by Vladimir Putin, the Russian “thugacrat,” is not laudatory as our interests are hardly aligned with Russia’s. If collusion is proved, as it has been strongly suggested, it would argue for encouraging an enemy to meddle further. The activities of those in and around the Trump campaign as early as March 2016 further suggest collusion. The secrecy and dissembling of the contacts made with Russian nationals by Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Jeff Sessions, Roger Stone, Carter Page, and Jared Kushner are well chronicled and, frankly, are too many to be coincidental. Yet, Trump and his associates plead just that. Placed in context, however, the intent of these meetings become more suspicious and troubling. Add to the suspicions the information that several of the Trump associates lied about payments made either directly or indirectly by the Russians, or, in the case of the president’s son-in-law, dealings that promised business advantages at the expense of our nation’s security, and you have opportunity and motive for treason. Without the clarity that the release of Trump’s recent tax returns might provide, it can fairly be assumed that Trump’s dalliance with Russia stems from his need for operating cash. Subsequent to his numerous bankruptcies in the past, his toxic status when seeking financing for his real estate ventures here at home are well known. Russian financing would be the weakness that could explain the Trump love and excusal of totalitarianism. Again, Occam’s Razor would suggest that short of other evidence and because of the secrecy and deception being used by Trump to obfuscate what might be exculpatory explanations, the clearest and most obvious answer is that Russia owns Trump, and he is repaying his debt at our expense.
