    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 On July 27, 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to hack his opponent’s emails and release them to the press. He knew this would help him win the election. With the narcissistic intensity that passes for a soul, he revealed to the world that whatever it takes would not just be a mantra but the modus operandi for his team.

    #2 After Trump betrayed his country, he enjoyed the attention. He had just launched the greatest controversy in American political history: Hillary Clinton’s private emails. If the media could get that, they would be ecstatic.

    #3 Trump publicly stated that he would lift sanctions against Russia if they helped him win the election. This was a signal of a quid pro quo: something given for something given in return. In return, Moscow only wanted one thing: to lift the crippling economic sanctions imposed by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the seizure of Crimea.

    #4 While the counterspies were dumbfounded, the world wondered if Trump’s appeal to Russia technically amounted to treason. While the definition of treason is strictly defined as levying war against the United States, many argue that it is an archaic word that harks back to the days of the Cold War.

      While the counterspies were dumbfounded, the world wondered if Trump’s appeal to Russia technically amounted to treason.

      #5

      Benedict Arnold was the greatest American traitor, who tried to almost snuff out the bright flame of the American Revolution. His betrayal was to sell the American garrison at West Point to the British in 1780.

      #6

      Arnold was a daredevil officer who took a critical counterattack at Saratoga that may have saved the entire battle. He was not rewarded for his valor, and he began to think about treachery.

      #7

      Arnold was a useful traitor, but a dangerous pitfall in spy craft is that enemy intelligence officers will eventually want to have a face-to-face meeting to validate loyalty.

      #8

      Arnold’s betrayal met the standard set by the American Constitution for treason. The punishment was death or life imprisonment, and the definition was made specific to ensure that every latitude was given to the accused.

      #9

      The US Constitution was designed to be interpreted and redefined amid changing circumstances in different eras. In the modern era, a person can commit acts that meet the legal definition without ever seeing a foreign enemy, and modern communications could aid and abet a foreign power without ever leaving one’s seat at a café.

      #10

      There have been many Americans who have betrayed the nation for money, fame, and personal revenge. Some even defected to the enemy’s camp after their betrayals, such as Edward Lee Howard.

      #11

      Trump’s Russia, if you’re listening speech was the first indication that he was going to align himself with a hostile foreign power and sell the
