Thanks, Hostage!

“18 U.S. Code § 2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Note that “enemies” in the above language means enemies foreign and domestic.

Treason is the higher crime of the group and is the only one that carries the highest penalty of death. But death is not mandatory, as the penalty can be imprisonment and fine. The amount of imprisonment and fine is unlimited. For example, John Brennan, if convicted of treason, can be imprisoned for life and ruined financially. If a member of government is found to have leaked to the Chicoms the identities of US agents in China that resulted in their deaths, then it’s likely the death penalty will follow to the leaker.”

Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.

                              -Sir John Harington (1560?–1612)

... until the adults wake up,

smell the stench,

call it what is and

take out the trash.
