Letter to the Editor: Trump Should Be Tried for Treason

Posted

I would like to know why Donald J. Trump, being commander in chief, was not charged for treason by military court martial? Have things changed that much?

I arrived at basic training ten days after J.F.K. was assassinated. First thing they drilled into us was how to follow orders, personal hygiene and the chain of command. You always follow your last order first. Wouldn’t that make the commander in chief responsible for the last order to attack our system?

It also used to be against military law to steal top secret documents to copy and trade to China, North Korea and Russia for your long-range goal to be like them. Trump withheld aid to Ukraine for ransom for attacking them. He was in the process of taking us out of NATO to help every rogue country in the world and he gave North Korea more confidence than ever. 

His lying, cheating and womanizing are different crimes! This is a serious case of treason. 



If the rules have changed this much, we better start backtracking before the trail back home disappears.
