Treason is clearly and plainly defined in the Constitution.

The author should try reading it sometime.

So should more than a few Freepers.

I think Sam Faddis is former CIA so I would think he knows, but interpretation is what matters.

Russiagate is certainly sedition. For Treason it depends on if you believe that trying to overthrow the president through a color revolution to be an act of war.

Maybe you should try reading it!

They absolutely were giving aid to America’s enemies. So yes a case can be made for treason, but hey, you just keep spreading your false innuendo.

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. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

I would think this would apply to all of them..

Sedition:
crime against the state. Though sedition may have the same ultimate effect as treason, it is generally limited to the offense of organizing or encouraging opposition to government in a manner (such as in speech or writing) that falls short of the more dangerous offenses constituting treason.

The publication of seditious writing (“seditious libel”) or the utterance of seditious speech (“seditious words”) was made a crime in English common law. Modern statutes have been more specific. The display of a certain flag or the advocacy of a particular movement such as criminal syndicalism or anarchy have been declared from time to time to be seditious. In the United States after World War II, loyalty oaths were imposed for some government officials, and investigations and dismissals of certain public employees were made on the basis of their associations with suspect causes and groups.

I've read the definition of treason and, given the circumstances and context, a strong case can be made that some of the actors in this could be charged with treason when the totality of their actions are taken into account.

There are other charges that are much more clear cut and directly applicable.

Regardless, there is more than enough to send them to prison for the rest of their lives.
