Since when do we hold traitors accountable?

The last traitors who received appropriate justice were the Rosenbergs back in the early fifties.

And the Rosenbergs weren’t even charged with treason. They were charged with espionage.

Treason has such a high Constitutional standard that such charges are not even sought. And despite wild claims, the death penalty hasn’t been applied to treason since one case during the Civil War.
