Comrade Trump might find out that he's not above the law. “Donald Trump today once again took Russia’s side. He asked the Russians to interfere in American politics,” Panetta said in his speech. “It is inconceivable to me that any presidential candidate could be that irresponsible.” Retired Navy Rear Adm. John Hutson, who left the Republican Party during the George W. Bush administration, said at the Democratic convention that it was “embarrassing” that Trump leads a major U.S. political party. “He personally invited Russia to hack us. That’s not law and order. That’s criminal intent,” Hutson said. TREASON?Trump’s Wednesday comment was “tantamount to treason,” said William Inboden, a University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs associate professor who served on the National Security Council under President George W. Bush. “He is inviting and encouraging an adversary of the U.S. to engage in cyberattacks and espionage on us,” Inboden told the American-Statesman. Inboden, who called himself a conservative Republican, said he won’t vote for Trump or Clinton. He added he isn’t a lawyer and doesn’t know the threshold for prosecuting someone for treason but that he “used very strong language deliberately because I believe we need to draw attention to this.” He wasn’t alone. Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe, a liberal legal scholar who has been an adviser for President Barack Obama, also suggested Trump’s comments could be treasonous. “Trump’s ‘jokes’ inviting an adversary to wage cyberwar against the U.S. appear to violate the Logan Act and might even constitute treason,” Tribe said on Twitter. The Logan Act is a 1799 law banning Americans from negotiating with foreign powers if they aren’t authorized by the U.S. government. govtech.com
