No American with honor call for foreign intervention into our politics

Our Founding Fathers didn't like our ally, France, who helped us win our independence from Britain meddling in our politics so why should we accept Russian meddling now? If a person like Trump tried what he did the other day back then he would have been arrested and tried for treason.

I guess the closest we have ever come to having a political figure doing what Trump did was Aaron Burr, our 3rd Vice President and the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Burr, along with others, conspired with foreign powers, Britain and Spain, to take the newly purchased Louisiana Territory away from the United States. There was discussion of turning this area into a separate nation with people like Burr as the ruler. The exact nature and plan is not known because Burr was sold out by one of his co-conspirators. Burr was tried for treason but because evidence was limited and some political behind the scenes wiggling Burr was acquitted of treason. Historical scholars have examined the case and have concluded he was more than likely guilty of conspiracy to commit treason but how deep he was involved is not known.
See there are those around who will try to interfere in our politics and fail because the design of our system but with modern technology and how fast information can spread it is easy for countries like Russia to pull off hacks and then release stuff to influence people opinions. We cannot allow such intervention and it should be in the best interest of both parties to strongly condemn such acts no matter which party is the victim. And we should accept no one who calls for hacking any organization, person, or entity in our country. This is not a joke. Today it is emails from a political party, tomorrow it could be your bank account, your company, your family, or the military. Allowing this hacking in any form allows them to perfect their techniques and makes them more dangerous.
No, the message that should have been sent by Trump, if he were a true leader worth his salt, should have been a condemnation and a call for Wikileaks to be shut down as being dangerous to all. And to vow to fight such actions. Not to mention that if he believes he is good enough then to say I don't need outside help. I will win on my own merit. But Trump has no merit, no honor, he is a coward afraid to lose so he cheats just like he does contractors.
