“It’s never been clearer that all of this activity amounts to a series of widespread plots involving large numbers of elected, appointed and career government officials who have abandoned the oaths they took to faithfully execute their offices. The Founders would consider this corruption high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Every federal employee, from the guy who cuts the grass on the National Mall to the president, takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and faithfully discharge their position of public trust.

The pattern of arguably treasonous behavior is obvious to anyone not bought and paid for by the leftist elites who control the system.
