Retired General Barry McCaffery has stated President Trump has seriously eroded the deterrents of Russian aggression in Europe. The Baltics and Poland are under active military threat by Russia. He also states Russian generals have been threatening Western Europe with nuclear weapons. Russian aircraft have been making hostile attacks on US naval vessels in the Black Sea and the Baltics. There were Russian mercenaries (supposedly deniability by Russia) in Syria that targeted USA troops. Those 200 Russians aren’t alive anymore.
The point is President Trump is embracing an actively hostile country, namely Russia, while calling NATO allies foes. There is a lot wrong with the Trump presidency in regard to Russia, NATO and USA national security. He is building walls and committing human rights abuses at the USA southern border while spurning NATO. Nothing is in balance. What don’t we know?

Illinois State Board of Elections was hacked by Russians in the 2016 presidential elections.
The Illinois legislature passed a bill to remove Illinois from the controversial multi-state voter registration system. Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed the bill that would have secured Illinois from any danger by Russian hackers or other hackers as well.
Hopefully there is a veto proof majority in both Illinois houses. Illinois citizens need to form a concerned citizens group to sue the Governor.
It is surprising the Governor would act against the will of the people because the Russians now have the full identity of the citizens in this multistage voter registration system. There is nothing stopping Russians from mailing in voter ballots. Even if there are duplicate ballots, chances are there will be some that are not.

Impeachment does not have the same status as treason. Treason is defined by the Article III, Section 3 of the USA Constitution.
Treason is a crime and requires at least two witnesses to the event. It requires no assembly of Congress. Treason is prosecuted in front of a judge and jury no different than any other crime.
Witnesses do not have to be Americans, nor are Americans excused as witnesses.

Minority Leader Pelosi is an asset to the Democratic Party. Do Democratic US House members need a new leader? I doubt it.
There are ways to bring along a younger House Leader and perhaps Minority Leader Pelosi should bring the younger members of the Democratic House more to the forefront. There is no profit for Minority Leader Pelosi to put younger members in the background. Experience is important, but, House leadership has to be sensitive to the ambitions of new and younger members.
I also believe Minority Leader Pelosi is an excellent guard of American’s entitlement. She needs to realize younger members of the Democrat’s see the future of retirement differently. That is important and that needs a plank in the Party platform so it also protects entitlements they have already paid into. The Democratic leadership needs to bring interesting ideas of their younger members forward. The future belongs to them, there has to be room for the future in the Democratic platform and there needs to be a voice for their ambitions from among current and successful members.
There are a lot of topics the younger members bring to enhance the strong morality instilled by Minority Leader Pelosi. Those topics include college loans that should not burden Americans all their lives that can ultimately deprive them of SSI and Medicare benefits. Another issue is the support of excellence in teaching future generations. Also at issue is the southern border and the best way to govern it going forward, including clearer and appropriate work for ICE. ICE played a role in human rights violations along that southern border by removing children from their parents. I think the US House needs to pass legislation that clearly defines their jobs without human rights issues. There are health care troubles as well as the empowerment of women.
The US Democratic House has to bring truth to Trump’s lies. Today in walking what he said to the Russians it was stated the tax reform was going to made permanently for the Middle Class and Small Businesses. It was stated as if the Republican tax reform was actually benevolent to the Middle Class and Small Businesses. Those are HUGE lies. Never before in the history of the USA have the wealthy and Wall Street been so indulged by the USA federal government through tax reform that at the same time places enormous tax burdens on the Middle Class and Small Businesses.

I find it laughable that Putin would not touch the copy of the indictment of his very own agents. I think Putin might be worried about Novichok.
But, Mr.Wallace was brilliant in carrying those copies to the interview and presenting them, It is unfortunate Mr. Putin was afraid of paper. It would have been interesting to see his response to facts on paper. The practice of law, yet alone international law, is not within President Putin’s expertise. That is true of Trump as well. But, I think Putin was afraid of the actual paper.
I think Lisa Page should insist on public disclosure of her testimony except for redacted national security statements. She is an attorney and could have ethic issues or more facing her through a state professional organization. I don’t think she needs to be dragged into a public hearing at Congress. No one needs the circus of the Strzok hearing. A redacted copy of Ms. Page’s testimony in a secured hearing room is all needed to the public.

It is wholly irresponsible to sweep Russian interference with US elections in 2016 under the table. Vladimir Putin stated he wanted Trump to win a presidential election in 2016 while he knew nothing about him except he was a rich guy.
Today, Paul Ryan states interference in elections is common practice by Russia. It seems to me the US Congress has an obligation to end that practice by Russia. Sanctions are only one way to end these practices. Sanctions have had minimal effect as exampled by the 2016 elections. The US Congress needs to hold a security summit with all US allies to bring about resolve TO RETURN THE VOTE TO THE VOTER without exception!
Donald Trump held a two hour secret meeting with Vladimir Putin. THAT is a threat to the USA national security. Pence is blowing smoke in his propaganda about America first with Trump.
Fox News is speculating about a grand jury due to Strzok and Page emails, etc. favoring Hillary Clinton’s emails and the lack of prosecution. The USA doesn’t need more partisan measures.
I have stated over and over on this blog there were LAWS LACKING to govern such activity. Former Secretary Clinton, no different than President Obama, are among the first elected officials to indulge the use of electronic communications. Wired communications are different than emails. Wired communications are already secured. Emails and text were new to USA national security by elected officials. There is no there there to seek a grand jury. There were no laws or protocols at that time to govern those using such communications.
Former Secretary Clinton is a prime example of a patriot who got caught up in a paradigm shift involving a new technology without laws for governance. She has been the First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the USA, a lawyer, a young woman in service to children as her first passion as a lawyer, she went on to be Secretary of State and a dedicated woman to attempt to shatter the last, hardest and highest glass ceiling in the USA. She has tried twice to win the nomination for President and once to win the presidency. She never had national security concerns until the use of emails and texts became an acceptable way of communication between government officials.
Hillary Clinton is the wife of a Former USA President. She used a server within her private residence. She was used to a grest deal of national security in her everyday life. It never occurred to her emails would be the issue it became. Her responsibilities regarding such technology issue were left to other professionals including private attornies. She is completely guiltless of any wrong doing in regard to any emails OF ANY KIND any time of her life.
Mr. Strzok had a very easy assessment about the Forner Secretary Clinton and her emails and server that was given to an IT professional to care for and store. We all know about the storage of the Clinton server. That only goes further to prove the lack of laws and policy regarding the technology at the time.
There is no way the government has a case against Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page. I will caution the idea that there is actually a remote case against these two well educated and practiced agents, in that the federal government had bled it’s finest professionals under the Trump presidency and the more the mistreatment of intelligence officers exist the fewer and fewer people will see these agencies as a career option.
There was no bias by Mr. Strzok or Ms Page in face of their personal political passions.
Enough is enough.

Trump is a treasonist and a traitor.
If Mr. Brennan won’t say it then I will. Trump is not only giving comfort to a USA enemy he is threatening NATO as a foe. I think Trump emotionally brutalizes his staff to the point where they don’t care about the country and are silent partners to Trump’s treason.
The majority Republicans are just as cowardly and are afraid their elections would not go well if treason and impeachment were an issue.
THE CONGRESS took an oath of office TO THE COUNTRY not the elections. The Congress is patheticly spineless!
