If there's one thing we've learned these last few years...

View original postIf the "esteemed" General and the even more "esteemed" third person in line to assume the Presidency truly believed President Trump was so unhinged he could start a nuclear war to retain power, there's a mechanism for dealing with that. And it's not secretly sharing information with an enemy. That's the cowardly, weasel way. But it would have taken true moral courage to go public with that belief and we know that doesn't exist anymore in politics.
... it's that no, there ISN'T a mechanism for dealing with that. Not unless the president in question is sufficiently unpopular with his own party, which was the case with Nixon but in the current hyperpolarized climate is increasingly unlikely.
Umm, isn't this treason?

I am not disagreeing, it is treachery and it would be treason if someone acted

Morally correct would have been going public with invoking the 25th Amendment

Right, because that was going to actually make any kind of difference.

I'd certainly think "countermanding the CiC and giving top secret intel" would count as treason.
