ThanKQ for the info on “providing material support” vs “treason” !

In a non-declared war situation, the most any perp could get is life in prison.

In a declared-war situation, the most any perp could get is death.

What about Julius & Ethel Rosenberg ?

There wasn’t a declared war going on, same as now, so could the penalty for breaking the law that they broke, be applied to perps doing the same thing today?

Espionage case. 18 USC 794. There is death penalty material in there.
