Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal has decided that treason is a possibility in the Donald Trump Jr. saga because an act of war was committed by Russia. Watch:

If Sen. Blumenthal has ever read Article III of the Constitution, he would know how narrowly-defined treason is in our country. As noted by many Constitutional experts, the accusations against Trump Jr. do not indicate that war has been levied by him against the U.S., nor has he adhered to an enemy during a time of war with that nation.
Hey Connecticut. Can you try to elect lawmakers who understand the constitution. Thanks. https://t.co/EmZZqwRkXK

Treason was narrowly defined in The Constitution to keep it from being wielded against political opponents https://t.co/SzSFxuajPi

Oh, and we don’t even need to mention the DEEP irony of Sen. Blumenthal, of all people, questioning the claims of others, given his “war record.”

Maybe he can make up for years of lying about serving in Vietnam by flying the first bombing run over Moscow? ? https://t.co/EuV02kSqrw

Not only are Sen. Blumenthal’s comments lacking in foundation, they seem to be very irresponsible and even dangerous.

Connecticut to declare war on Russia — the rest of us, not so much. https://t.co/BOclKisoed
