LMAO at Hill Shills saying he broke the law and should be prosecuted for free speech, yet they think their Queen did nothing wrong storing tens of thousands of emails, many classified, on a vulnerable private server.

I struggle to see a way where Trump could be prosecuted for colluding with a foreign power in a manner that precludes criticism of it being a partisan set-up. But if there is any way for that to happen, I definitely think it should.

We need to find a rabid anti-Communist federal judge to preside over the trial, and it goes without saying rabid anti-Communists would be a) Republicans b) anti-Putin in general.

This all boggles the mind, though. Imagine if Obama had said this sort of thing about Bush in 2008. Or Dukakis in 1988 ("I hope the Russians release any missing Iran-Contra files..."). The GOP would crucify them, and rightly so. What kind of double standard do GOP politicians have so they can be a gung-ho, flag-waving, "if-you-don't-love-this-country-you-can-leave" patriots in 2006, yet stand behind a candidate supporting an unambiguously hostile foreign leader's-- the Russians, for Christ's sake-- attempts to undermine our government and political process?

Sure, you can say the GOP has been bigoted, reactionary, retrograde, populist, "the same as Trump". Whatever. But supporting foreign subversion? No one can argue the GOP has ever been in favor of that.

He did not break a law. He simply showed that his judgement is extremely poor and that. In fact, so poor, that if he becomes president the probabilty that he will be breaking laws daily is equal to exactly 100%.

In fact, electing Trump president might qualify as entrapment.

Not only didn't Trump break the law, but he also suggested that Russia follow it's treaty with the US and turn over any evidence that they have in the Hillary! FBI investigation.

Trump suggested that if Russia had the "missing" e-mails that they hand them over to the appropriate legal authority -- the FBI. There was nothing illegal with what Trump said.

It was a patriotic act by the Donald to request that these 30,000 e-mails that were "lost" despite a subpoena are handed over to the appropriate authorities. Let the sun shine in, Crooked Hillary!

Yes, it's impossible to imagine. Your example demostrates well how weak the US has become under Obama. It has lost its position of the superpower. How you are afraid of Russians now. This is the most prominent result of Obama's rule.

No. I don't think he was actually serious as much as he was musing aloud (is it nasty when I muse aloud in the car "God I hope that guy on the motorcycle gets ticketed when he cuts in front of me on the rice rocket?) for the sake of making news.

Prosecuting him or continuing this whole "TREASON" panic will only turn people off. Attack Trump for being a loud mouthed asshole who thinks he alone can fix it, not for being a traitor.

That is all easily refuted propaganda:
$17.9 trillion in worthless debt dollars, with a national debt greater than even its own alleged forged "income". Mother Russia has no national debt to speak of )))).

Aircraft carriers are technologies of the past. Nobody needs them anymore, especially when our nuclear submarines patrol freely just kilometers away from your Disney World.

American "universities" .. what a LAUGH. They just transfer money from the gullible to the culpable. And they are full of foreigners anyway, since your own American undergraduates know less than even our primary schoolers ))))

And we were the ones who build Polish "schools" anyway ))))

Perhaps, but you should NEVER make jokes about these kinds of topics.
This will probably hurt him among Independents, Undecideds, and Lean Trump voters.
