“During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trump’s campaign,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.

“This constituted an act of unprecedented treachery: the campaign of a nominee for President of the United States in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the presidency,” he said.

This statement was released after a lawsuit was filed in a court of law.

Russia joined with WikiLeaks, and paid for ads on social media which resulted in a lower voter turnout than expected from ‘Hillary-leaning’ voters.

Here’s the truth; only those in Washington have any doubts that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to “fix” the election. Donald Jr.’s meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower was obviously collusion and and act obstruction of justice. Jared Kushner’s four meetings with high level Russian agents, which he intentionally left off of his SF86 security clearance form, were intended to aid Trump’s campaign and establish a ‘back channel;’ a secret communications link between Trump and Putin. Then there are many men who are not family who met with Russian agents including Jeff Sessions, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and others. None of this can be considered as ‘coincidence,’ or reasonable.

Every security agency in the free world has discovered irrefutable evidence that Putin made multiple efforts to discredit Hillary and aid Trump during the 2016 campaign. This fact, combined with the many contacts between Trump staffers and Russian agents constitutes a preponderance of circumstantial evidence.

Let’s talk about after the election. Trump has had many contacts with Putin; refuses to denounce Russia’s criminal activity during our election; and continues to praise his puppeteer. Since the inauguration Trump has had secret meetings in the Oval Office with Russian agents at least eight times in his 15 months in office. We only know about these meetings because Russian news agencies have revealed them.

Trump has committed treason against the people of the United States of America. “Lock him up.”
