Why Peter Strzok has not been charged with treason is a mystery.

It just goes to show how our US justice system has collapsed.

IMO, the guy is guilty of attempting to overthrow the government. I think that’s called sedition, and since more than one person was involved, it’s a conspiracy. They should swing.

“Why Peter Strzok has not been charged with treason is a mystery.”

Not surprising to me. Sure, he’s a scumbag lowlife, but under the law, can you say he was treasonous?

I don’t know. Any attorneys here want to weigh in?

Well, the investigation is not over yet.

This thing is going to go on for many more months, if not years.

The politically correct wussy crowd can not let the word escape their lips. Believe me, they all know that the attempted coup is the biggest historical treasonous act committed against the U.S since Benedict Arnold.

Absend a declared war with a defined enemy, I think treason is a pretty high bar to clear.

US Constitution, Article III, Section 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Use of force or advocating the use of force seems to be the key. This case may not even rise to the level of sedition.

A Treasonous betrayal? Absolutely.

Treason as defined in the USC? No. I'm afraid not.

Article III, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." That's why.

"Treason" is coming close to "racism" as one of the most over-used words in the English language.
