In an interview with Rachel Maddow, John Brennan said that he did not mean that Trump committed treason when he said Trump’s actions at Helsinki were nothing short of treasonous.

After the Helsinki summit, Brennan tweeted out this
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.†It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

He then went on NBC’s Chuck Todds show and claimed it was treasonous again
