ONGOING TREASON

a summary

The President of the United is committing treason in plain sight. Russia has declared 21st century war on US. They attacked, and continue to attack our elections. They’ve attacked our power grids. Our President refuses to defend US. He is aiding & abetting the enemy. TREASON.
