Trump suggests whoever gave whistleblower info was a spy, should be executed
Posted by Josh Taylor / September 27, 2019
Donald Trump was caught threatening the whistleblower––or whoever gave the whistleblower the information. Trump suggested that the whistleblower was a spy and should be executed.
The irony is, of course, that Trump himself was just called a traitor worthy of execution by none other than Bill Weld, a Republican Party primary challenger, accused Donald Trump of treason for urging Ukraine to meddle in the 2020 elections.
“Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a U.S. election,” Weld said, “It couldn’t be clearer, and that’s not just undermining democratic institutions. That is treason. It’s treason, pure and simple, and the penalty for treason under the U.S. code is death. That’s the only penalty. “he penalty under the Constitution is removal from office, and that might look like a pretty good alternative to the president if he could work out a plea deal.”
Trump is ornerier than normal because Nancy Pelosi has announced formal impeachment inquiries into President Donald Trump.
“I’m announcing that the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I’m directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi said in the announcement.
