as offered in today’s Washington Post by Dana Milbank. He takes on the current issue of Russian involvement with the hacking of DNC emails. He recounts, with lots of links, what we know. That alone would make A Trump-style speculation on the GOP and Putin worth reading.
But I will leave all that, the bulk of the column, to you to read on your own.
Let me simply share the words that are the basis of the title of this column:
I’m hearing it’s a big topic, the question of whether Trump is guilty of treason. I’m not sure. I mean, let people make their own determination. Trump never denied that Putin was his patron.
He cannot give us his tax returns. He didn’t pay his taxes, or, if he did, there’s something in those returns that is very bad for him. Now, somebody told me — and I have no idea whether this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be — that he owes billions to Putin. Somebody said, ‘Maybe that’s the reason he doesn’t want to show his returns.’ I don’t think so. I just don’t think he paid his taxes.
Why is Trump so emphatic about not talking about his Putin connections? He gets it better than anybody understands. There’s something going on. There’s something we don’t know about. I don’t know. All I know is what’s on the Internet. Wow!
