So we aren’t allowed to say he should be tried for treason?
“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.”

Not unless you want to discuss your feelings with the SS — well, you can say it of course, but if you have any “eyes” on you for any reason and say something of this nature about ANY of our elected politicians you can count on a call or visit from the SS or the FBI depending upon who you are, and what “position” you are in. The more visible you are the quicker the call will come, obviously.
I’m sure in Rev. Manning’s case they have been watching, listening and waiting for just the right phrase to come out of his mouth that they can twist in order to shut him up.
