During an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, President Trump said that those behind the Russia hoax and the spying on his campaign are basically traitors to this country.
The discussion had shifted from who was behind the Russia hoax to what can be done about it.
“If this happened to Obama, instead of to me, you know what? Everybody would be in jail for years already, for years. It’s a disgraceful thing,” the President said.
Of course well all know Trump is right. There’s a double standard, one for Republicans and one for Democrats.
“But it’s — it’s — we caught them in the act, Maria. It’s a beautiful thing,” the President continued. “Every day, we’re seeing more and more information come out. We caught them. And their guys are gone. They were guarding the fort. Comey and all these guys, they were guarding the fort. And once they left, it got easier and easier.”
The president then got to his main point “And now it’s like an avalanche of really bad — call it treason, call it whatever you want, but they tried to take down a duly elected president of the United States.

BARTIROMO: How involved was John Brennan?
TRUMP: Totally involved. He was totally involved. John Brennan was one of the architects, in my opinion. You look at Brennan, you look at Clapper, you look at them all. But, ultimately, the president knew everything. The president knew everything. President Obama and Vice President Biden, they knew everything.
BARTIROMO: So, what can you do about it?
TRUMP: And, again, if…
BARTIROMO: What can you do about it, that…
TRUMP: Let me just tell you, if I were in that position, it’d be a whole different thing. If this happened to Obama, instead of to a Republican president, that’s popular, 96 percent in the Republican Party, but it’s a whole different thing.
If this happened to Obama, instead of to me, you know what? Everybody would be in jail for years already, for years. It’s a disgraceful thing.
But it’s — it’s — we caught them in the act, Maria. It’s a beautiful thing. And, every day, we’re seeing more and more information come out. We caught them. And their guys are gone.
They were guarding the fort. Comey and all these guys, they were guarding the fort. And once they left, it got easier and easier.
And now it’s like an avalanche of really bad — call it treason, call it whatever you want, but they tried to take down a duly elected president of the United States.
BARTIROMO: They didn’t care that 53 million voted for you and wanted you in the office.
TRUMP: More than 63 million. Just so you understand that they got caught in the act. They never thought that was going to happen. And they got sloppy, where Lisa Page would text and send messages through service.
You know one of the other things that is missing? The DNC server. Where is it?
Why is it that the FBI didn’t take it? They arrested all of these people, but they didn’t arrest — they went in to see the people at DNC, right?
They go in to see, you know, her wonderful campaign manager. You know all about that, right? They went into see those people, whose brother, by the way, was supposed to be arrested. And the brother never got arrested, right?
