The list continues to grow of Trump supporters and allies who have been proven to have multiple connections with ambitions to either support Vladimir Putin’s efforts to interfere in our elections, or to hide Trump’s immoral and criminal efforts to cover-up the facts of past crimes and debauchery continues to grow.

The FBI raid of the offices of Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen today, offer indications of involvement in situations which could force Trump from the White House. Trump can call every legal examination of his life of crime and immorality a ‘witchunt’ as long as he wants, but the truth is that the facts are beginning to reveal a level of treason never seen before in our nation’s history.

Months ago Cohen hired his own attorney, Stephen Ryan. Ryan attempted to dissuade the raid on Cohen’s offices today, but appeared inept and unprepared.

“Today, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” Ryan said in a statement.

Ryan called the action “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.”

“It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney-client communications between a lawyer and his clients,” Ryan said. “These government tactics are also wrong because Mr. Cohen has cooperated completely with all government entities, including providing thousands of non-privileged documents to the Congress and sitting for depositions under oath.”

Of course, none of this is fact. Cohen has constantly lied to the press, and he has never offered testimony before the Mullen investigation. He has hidden personal transactions by Trump with secrecy and avoidance and refusal to addres the facts of the investigation. Cohen’s involvement with porn star Stormy Daniels has proven that he is not a believable witness.

Now, here’s what’s happening in the White House today. Trump is defending his personal attorney; he is considering the firing of John Kelly and Jeff Sessions; He is under pressure to attack Syrian forces for another confirmed chemical warfare attack on Assad’s own people, which would oppose Putin’s goals in the region. What to do, what to do?

Trump is not only being exposed for his support of fascist regimes, and his personal attempt to change America and move our nation into the direction of other autocratic leaders, he is proving that he is not an American president. His goals are not the goals of the majority of the American people. His sole ambition is to increase his personal wealth and the wealth of his closest supporters.

Time to rid our nation of its greatest nightmare. Trump and his hypocritical Republican Party must be removed from power by a second American Revolution. This can happen on November 6, 2018, if not before. Our nation can belong to the people once again if we vote and remove the treasonous politicians from office who label themselves as Republicans when in fact they are traitors to the principles of our founding fathers.
