president trump on with no evidence except that papadopoulos statement. trying to remove a president of the united states on a false charge and then going through false affidavits, phoney dossiers and setting up people. i don t know if it s treason, but it s a sure an act against the united states. it s a conspiracy against the united states of the crime. it s a very, very serious crime and people should go to jail for a long time. laura: all of the people who have been jaw boning for 2 years about russia and other countries want to mettle in our election, that s a concern, but there should be another concern that individuals in the united states were trying to affect the elected president of the united states.
