How were these guys not charged with treason?

Whistle blower gets fired.

Cops who threaten to kill the President, get fired, and now are applying to get their jobs back.

I worry about the President everyday.

Yes I agree with you on hoping he survives this presidency. It is scary knowing all the nut cases out there.
