Flynn, Prince, Giuliani, Roger Stone, The Mercers....
The list is long and in my opinion they are all traitors to this Nation....

"...against all enemies, foreign or domestic..."
An oath is supposed to mean something.

I'm glad Seth Abramson is putting them back under the spotlight.

He's kept a very low profile lately, and rightfully so. He's a criminal conspirator.

He was the #1 person on tv supporting Trump during the campaign - and he seems to have disappeared. What happened there?

1/ True Pundit is a pro-Trump fake news site that began publishing on June 9, 2016the day that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower to discuss the Kremlin's provision to the Trump campaign of incriminating material on Clinton.
2/ True Pundit would quickly reveal itself as having the same agenda Trump Jr. had when he met with Kremlin agents on the day True Pundit launched: its mission would be to destroy Clinton's candidacy by uncovering incriminating material about herparticularly via her emails.
3/ All articles on True Pundit are published anonymously. The only person publicly associated with the website operates under a pseudonym"Thomas Paine." (Thomas Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, was instrumental in convincing the colonies to rebel against Britain.)
4/ From June 9, 2016 to June 12, 2016, it seemed clear True Pundit had been started up in a hurryit published dozens of stories but no original reporting. More than 95% of stories were simply links to other sources, while True Pundit "originals" were two-sentence news summaries.
5/ Many of True Pundit's early news sources were predictable: Breitbart, The Daily Caller, InfoWars, The New York Post, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Free Beacon, Fox News, and The Daily Beast. Breitbart was far and away the most commonly linked-to website at the time.
6/ But True Pundit also, in its first three days, occasionally linked to mainstream news sources like The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, NBC, ESPN, Reuters, The Guardian (UK), The Telegraph (UK), and The Independent (UK).
7/ That said, in its first 72 hours True Pundit also linked to two Russian news sourcesRT and Sputnikan intelligence-oriented site called "Intel News," and several fringe-right publications. A typical link assured readers Clinton would destroy America: .......................

that was pulling hard for Dump and the Russians.
Now Dump is attacking the FBI. When will the suckers learn?
Trump always turns on his friends and stabs them in the back.
