For those on FR that like to bandy about with the idea of treason (or the hanging of judges/opponents) here is the legal definition:

The legal definition of treason in the United States is established by Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Treason is defined as:

“Levying war against [the United States], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”

Key elements of this definition include:

Levying war: This means assembling or engaging in armed conflict against the United States government with the intent to overthrow it or resist its laws.

Adhering to enemies, giving them aid and comfort: This covers providing material support, intelligence, or other forms of assistance to countries or groups that are in open hostility with the United States.

Conviction requirements:

A person cannot be convicted of treason unless there is the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.

Penalties:

Treason is punishable by death or a minimum of five years in prison and a fine of at least $10,000. Convicted individuals are also barred from holding any office under the United States.

This definition is intentionally narrow to prevent abuse of the charge and to distinguish it from other serious crimes against the government.

BTW, Brennan, Comey and the ilk are the worst of the worst.

Iirc The CCP has internally declared unrestricted war on the USA

Xi bragged internally of hitting the USA with the bio weapon covid in 2018 iirc,

Technically we ARE at war.

The CCP interfered with our election via counterfeit drivers licenses used to register fraudulent voters and votes

Brennan and the rest all knew this and allowed it thus aiding and abetting and giving comfort and aid to a nation that has declared war internally.

Mutiny milley committed mutiny and declared his intention to aid and abet and give aid to the CCP on national TV.
