“I think you are saying the bureaucrats are seditious.”
Well, traitorous I think is a better word. They were entrusted by the people to operate within the bounds of the law and Constitution, and they have betrayed our trust, knowingly and intentionally.
I think Snowden is traitorous because he gave this to other countries that are enemies of the US.
The bureaucrats did not.
Traitor means selling out to an enemy. Sedition means going against the laws and in the case of the US means going against the American people but does not involve any other country.
