The ‘real’ traitor

To the Editor:
Apparently it takes a traitor to summon the “courage” to commutate the sentence of a convicted traitor. Bradley Manning, now called Chelsea after an expensive metamorphosis paid for by taxpayers, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for treason just three years ago. He was lucky to have escaped a more appropriate punishment; the death penalty. 
Now, President Obama, in his eleventh hour, has cast his final acts of destruction upon the United States. In addition to the Manning debacle, numerous pardons and continuing GITMO prisoner releases have been implemented. These prisoners have sworn to resume battle against the United States, not unlike their many predecessors. Obama’s shabby record of devastation is unprecedented for any president in history.
His repulsive acts have included telegraphing U.S. troop movements to the enemy, cutting troop strength in combat theaters, firing generals, allowing illegal aliens to swarm the borders and permitting sanctuary cites to flourish while serving as beacons beckoning further border incursions. Obama has allowed ISIS to expand, relegating them to “JV Team” status, while they were causing major destruction of the Middle East. Obama’s perpetual denigration of Israel, the only democracy in the region, has continued to fuel the ISIS fire and added to the instability there as well as the expansion of terrorism in Europe.
Among his more blatant actions has been the bestowing of gifts to Iran; a country sworn to destroy the United States. Lapsed inspections and uranium shipments allowed acceleration of the Iranian bomb and rocket program followed by more saber rattling against Israel and the United States. Then there are the Obama monetary gifts. Starting January of 2016, Obama secretly made an air shipment of $400 million in cash followed in the next 19 days by two further secret shipments totaling $1.3 billion in cash. Later, in 2016, there were reports that there may have been other Secret air shipments between 2014 and 2016 of about $33 billion in cash and gold. He doubled the National Debt to nearly $20 trillion. Who else got gifts?
 These actions are the work of a despicable traitor. Lending aid and comfort to the enemy, releasing traitors and war criminals in peace or war, is treasonable!
