Sedition? Not so much.

Get them in a military court:

Is sedition punishable by death?

A person who is found guilty of attempted mutiny, mutiny, sedition, or failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct.

10 U.S. Code § 894 - Art. 94. Mutiny or sedition | U.S. Code | US Law ...

Is Espionage Act still in effect?

The Espionage Act is still in effect today. Most notably, in 2013, former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden was charged with espionage after he leaked confidential information concerning U.S. Government surveillance programs.Jun 15, 2017

• 18 U.S.C. § 641: Criminalizes the theft or conversion of government property or records for one’s own use or use of another person. This act, in conjunction with 18 U.S.C. § 793(d), has been used to prosecute disclosure of classified information to the media.

• 18 U.S.C. § 793: Provides that a person who lawfully possesses or has access to “information respecting the national defense,” and who willfully discloses that information to someone not authorized to receive it, may be subject to imprisonment for up to ten years, a fine up of up to $25,000, or both.

• 18 U.S.C . § 795, 797: Prohibits the unauthorized creation, publication, sale, or transfer of photographs or sketches of vital defense installations or equipment, as defined by the President.

• 18 U.S.C. § 798: Prohibits the knowing and willful transmission of specified classified information to an unauthorized person. This information pertains only to information about the communications intelligence systems and activities of the United States.

• The Intelligence Identities and Protection Act of 1982: Criminalizes the disclose of the identity of covert intelligence agents, as in the Valarie Plame case.

Potential punishments can include:

• A fine and imprisonment for up to one year,

• A fine and imprisonment for up to 10 years, or

• A fine and imprisonment for any term up to life

Note that these penalties are per charge. So if you are facing multiple charges of espionage, you could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence.

Also, when it comes to espionage, the statute of limitations can extend for at least 10 years after the alleged criminal acts took place. While most federal crimes have a five-year statute of limitations, espionage is especially looked down upon, and prosecutors want to make sure alleged espionage offenders are held accountable for their crimes.

Hello Feinswine and the Governors on Pompeo's list.
