Some words need never to be said given the extreme weight of what they mean … unless the object of that word has done something that deserves its use.

Former President Barack Obama has been called, essentially, a traitor to the nation he served for more than a decade. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tossed the word “treason” out during a discussion of what she was “proof” that Obama fiddled with intelligence reports that accuse Russia of meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Gabbard doesn’t possess a shred of proof of that accusation. Instead of fixing like a laser on actual national security concerns, Gabbard is relitigating the 2016 election … which, I hasten to add, Donald Trump won! Trump garnered more Electoral College votes than Hillary Clinton. Period. Full stop. And all that rhetorical nonsense.

So, what the hell is Gabbard doing by seeking to bring up an issue that has been decided? Oh, wait! I know why! She wants to divert our attention from the Jeffrey Epstein matter and whether the late Epstein and Trump were besties during the time Epstein was shopping for underage girls to pawn off on clients in a sex trafficking scheme.

Gabbard is running amok with dangerous language that she should not use. Surely she knows the penalty for treason, right? If not, here it is: If convicted, it’s death!

I want to alert High Plains Blogger critics that I have refrained from accusing Trump of treason. Other have done so. That’s their call. Mine is to pull that punch … at least until we have evidence of a treasonous act.

To that end, DNI Gabbard needs to keep her trap shut!
