They'll need a second witness to corroborate for a treason conviction, though I imagine that's not necessary for impeachment.

Yeah, I don't need a treason conviction; I just like calling him a treasonous motherfucker. Because he is.

From what I understand, treason has a very specific legal definition, that will be difficult to meet in court.
Now, at the very least, Trump appears to be guilty of violating the Logan Act, which says that private citizens can't conduct foreign policy.
But of course, there is a whole lot more to come.

I don't think there will be any conviction of Trump. I think the most that will come of it will be impeachment proceedings but probably only if the Dems get control of the house in 2018. I expect 2020 will be the chance to get Trump out of office.

I'm not actually saying Trump will be charged with treason. But I'm not part of the legal system, so I can call his behavior what it is, which is treason.

I HATE the fluid med versions, but I might have to switch, just ddo it like a tequila shot with a hot tea back. Groooooossss.
We had a whole routine with Matilda to mitigate the flavor of yucky medicines.
We'd line up a row with a small glass of Coke, then medicine, then salty potato chips, then back to Coke, then potato chips again.
I'm not even thinking about impeachment. I just want to slow down the Republican agenda as much as possible until the 2018 election and start flipping some seats.
I want every motherfuckin' Republican in California in a district that voted for HRC to get ousted. I just want it to look like the last scene in the Godfather with the coordinated hits.

The reason I can't get too excited about the Flynn news is that Trump doesn't vote in the Senate. As satisfying as it would be to watch him leave the Oval Office in handcuffs, it wouldn't re-authorize CHIP or stop the GOP tax bill.

Now THAT, I could get behind.

I think that pass-through income change is going to be a bigger windfall than it seems like anyone is saying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here's where I'm at: I'm getting a massage tomorrow instead of going to a funeral. Because I just cannot.
On the other hand, my notebook "system" just totally worked out, in that I was able to find a reference to a third-hand conversation from six weeks ago. System = write everything down in a notebook with the date.
