Benedict Arnold was a military hero—until he wasn’t any more.

Put forth your evidence or STFU.

So what constitutes evidence? Must I have first-hand knowledge--the legally-accepted standard for evidence? I don't. I've never met the man. But since that obviously was not the standard for impeaching a president, what is your definition?

All I have to go on to form an opinion is what I have read. And yes, there are numerous accounts of his befriending Russian officers on combined evolutions and dissing the US to them. There was at least one statement by a senior officer who said that he had to tell him to knock it off during the course of one such evolution. That at least raises red flags to me. Maybe you are okay with it.

The fact that he won a Purple Heart has nothing--zero, zip, nada--to do with his political leanings.

You're basically calling a decorated veteran a traitor. I assumed there was at least a sliver of evidence in the public domain to make such a bold assertion.

He didnt say that. He said that there reports that the officer engaged in improper behavior for a military officer. Is your working theory that a decorated veteran can never do anything wrong?

As I said before, Benedict Arnold was a war hero until he became a traitor. The two are far from being mutually exclusive.
