WASHINGTON —U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, the House Foreign Affairs chair, called Tulsi Gabbard a “baffling” pick to lead the nation’s Intelligence Community, offering one of the sternest rebukes from a Republican yet.

Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.
The president’s slide has been hard to overlook. While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person. Biden’s team tapped campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Hollywood mogul, to find a voice coach to improve the president’s fading warble.
If the president was having an off day, meetings could be scrapped altogether. On one such occasion, in the spring of 2021, a national security official explained to another aide why a meeting needed to be rescheduled. “He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,” the former aide recalled the official saying.
Treason is the crime of betraying a country or state authority to which one owes allegiance:
Definition
Treason is the act of attempting to overthrow a country's government or aiding its enemies in war.
Examples
Acts of treason include participating in a war against one's country, attempting to kill or injure the ruler or their family, or passing on secret information to someone else.
Legal definition in the US
According to the US Constitution, treason is defined in Article III, Section 3. It states that a person can only be convicted of treason if there is testimony from two witnesses to the same act, or if the person confesses in open court. The punishment for treason is death, or a minimum of five years in prison and a fine of at least $10,000.
Historical context
The concept of treason has varied across history and legal systems. For example, in early Roman history, treason was defined broadly to include any act that threatened the safety of the group, not just betrayal to an external enemy.
We still get a Treason conversation with the soft landing.

It's not like he's testifying against anyone for insider trading…
I'd love to have some diet cokes with these two fitness buffs as they tell me RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist.
