The president (Trump), who has been dismissing this attack on our country as a “hoax” and “fake news” for over a year, leapt to defend, not the country, but himself.
“Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President,” he tweeted, dodging the point. (By 2013, Trump had already spent $1 million exploring a potential bid.) “The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong — no collusion!”
Maybe yes. Maybe no. More indictments will come, and we’ll see who among Trump’s inner circle, or Trump himself, is accused of illegal acts.
But right now, there is unarguable neglect if not betrayal going on in plain sight: Donald Trump has ignored — and is dismissing — a real, proven ongoing attack against this country. Instead of mobilizing forces to our nation’s aid, the president, like Benedict Arnold at West Point, has allowed our defenses to crumble.
When Arnold’s treason was uncovered, he fled. Those who trusted him were in shock. They did not make excuses, did not waffle. They accepted the obvious.
“Arnold has betrayed us!” George Washington said, fighting tears. “Whom can we trust now?”
We cannot trust the president, not because of what he may or may not have done in secret in the past, but because of what he is clearly doing or, rather, not doing, right now: defending our country against foreign enemies. We need to thwart a Russian attack on our system of government, and the president isn’t helping.

Steinberg (am admitted recovering alcoholic) compares Trump to the traitorous Benedict Arnold.
Russia again? Man, the leftards keep playing this worn out stupid record 24/7.
Psychotic libs.
So, he needs to order the DOJ to indict everyone who had a Trump sign in their yard or posted disparaging comments about Hillary? They were, after all, trying to influence the election.
Boris and Natasha were an f—ing joke.
Facebook trolling by 100 Russians is apparently the end of us...
WOW! This author has an agenda. Bias be its name.
He did that pivot with such ease...if he can throw a basketball through a hoop he should try out for the NBA!
A. Still no evidence of collusion, so (as the author grudgingly notes) nothing to hang on Trump.
B. The “meddling”, as it is now being termed, started long before the election, so where was Obongo’s administration on this?
C. So far, all the investigation has turned up are some pre-campaign irregularities committed by some future Trump campaign workers (some very low-ranked), one case of misspeaking to the FBI (which is starting to look very much like entrapment), and the indictment of a dozen Russian internet trolls who the indictment even points out were equal-opportunity. It would probably be *more* noteworthy if they *hadn’t* found any foreign attempts to influence the election.
Yes, the enemy is at the gates, this mean war. All of the Press and their kids should be the first ones sent in to the Fulda Gap to invade. Wesley Clark can be their Napolean...
We need a hot civil war so that real traitors like stein turf can be shot.
Ah! But WHICH SIDE of the gate???

LOL! Decades after the Mueller probe shows no Trump or Trump-associate involvement, guys like this fayg will still be muttering "Trump.... Russia.... Trump.... Russia.... Trump.... Russia.... "
What did Obama do about it?
B/S. They’ve been doing this for a hundred years. Why are our intel agencies chasing rabbits instead of doing their jobs?
I am guessing left does not realize how stupid they sound pushing the Trump-Russia thing after everything that has come out. The people like Steinberg are delusional.
Say, weren't these same people taking Romney to task for identifying Russia as an enemy?
Worked for Obama.
