Just heard this on msnbc with Katy, under federal law that is illegal. If so where is a federal investigation.

[justsaying]

Violations of the Logan Act. Jail this traitor.

[kevineide]

In fact, he is communicating and helping Vladimir Putin that is considered treason in my eyes he should be dealt with accordingly

[justinspearman]

How is this man still walking around free and not in prison? Smh

[CynAnne]

*Beyond* shameful...and yet *utterly* unsurprising.

[Drew-DTM]

How is Trump not being prosecuted by the DOJ?

[mamakat]

Of course he has kept in touch with him. Is anyone truly surprised?

[Gabrielle]

He probably gave/sold the classified documents he stole 😖

[rugh]

I'm so over this criminal and foreign agent.

[LucienCommabatch]

COVID test and confidential documents.

[dominoep]

There's no amount of negatives involving Trump that could possibly make his supporters not vote for him.

[frankcullen]

He should be convicted of Treason for aiding and abetting our enemy.

[bobmiller]

There is nothing Trump wouldn't do to help out his dear leader Putin. Trump is the greatest asset Russia has ever had.

[chillywillie]

I had enough of Trump years ago. I’m just hoping for him to go away as soon as possible.

[ChrisSonPEI]

This is exactly what Trump accuses everyone else of doing. If Trump accuses you of it, it's because he's doing it.

[quick]

How is the presidential election so close with this idiotic traitor on the ticket as a country I'm very worried for our future smh.

[AirForceFalcons_]

And this is shocking because? I'd expect nothing less from Dump.

[debbiecatt]

We knew this already! It’s so obvious.

[jea]

The lies must stop. This man has reached an unprecedented rate of madness

[ocpN-soxn]

the fact he can even still run is mind boggling
