I've always believed that treason in our country was given a very specific definition so that it wouldn't be used as a political weapon, i.e. some king sending the magistrate out to grab someone he doesn't like and convict him of treason.
How would a person be charged with treason in our day and time, particularly while we are not engaged in a declared war?
Don't get me wrong, I want to see justice arrive for all the crooks... all of them... I'm just confused about the charge of treason.
Historically the use of Treason was giving up to the foreign enemy, such as the Rosenberg couple for Russia.
Presently however, Domestic enemies should hardly be excluded, given their incessant internal battle over time to collapse the USA.
