He MUST be imprisoned.

I remember the days on DU when people would chastise you if you compared Hitler to Trump.

Doesn't seem so funny now. Drip, drip, drip.

This is why I've been saying from the beginning...he MUST and he WILL be imprisoned. A real prison.

Because, to quote Bob Dylan: "It's not dark yet, but it's getting there".

most others of the particulars are within the control of the majority of Americans and a few judges.

Here is what I can find

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. Id.


So

A. isnt Russia our enemy? And Saudi Arabia?

B. isnt what trump and kushner do adhering to them and clearly giving them Aid and Comfort?

I say yes. Because the word OR here is very important.

But, I also dont want anyone to forget that NONE of this had to happen but for a full year of people on our side trashing Hillary.

Not even the Rosenbergs were tried for treason, in large part for that very reason.

Doesn't stop people from misusing it anyway, including Trump. He does it all the time.
