WEll, I've long been of the opinion that John Kerry more than qualifies as a traitor. Of the official kind, as much, if not moreso, a traitor as anyone convicted has ever been.
The mere fact that he met with the North Vietnamese in Paris while he was still enlisted (he argues this but it's been proven that he was not yet discharged during that meet in Paris) is an act of treason under military laws, but his actions during and after the Vietnam War were also traitorous.
I believe it's due to Jimmy Carter's actions that John Kerry was able to run for the Senate afterward (Carter granted Kerry a Presidential pardon, but I don't know the details of that and sure wish I did, lest anyone has a link to any content on the internet that contains the body of that Pardon, but I doubt that Kerry would ever have allowed that to persevere if ever on the internet), anyway, that Kerry ended up in the Senate and, horribly worse, running for the Presidency is like someone completely insulting the U.S. to near death (Kerry has).
He's engaged in treachery of and about the U.S. and has no place in the Senate, much less the Executive (and from the look of things, a lot of other people thought so, too). But, I do regard Kerry as a traitor, and Carter as one, too, for the Pardon -- which he should not have offered, nor been able to under Kerry's circumstances.
I mean, there are some acts that are not pardonable and unless someone's completely recanted and renounced former treachery (Kerry has not, Fonda has not), there is no margin upon which a Pardon can be considered other than mere and subjective favoritism.
So, yes, Kerry's a traitor and so is Jane Fonda and no amount of money by either will ever change their legacy of treachery.
Yes, John Kerry lied before Congress and regularly to the press. When questioned about it in the modern era, he shrugs it off as angry words from a young man.
His organization also plotted the assassination of elected Congressmen during a time of war for their support of the war.
Traitors are not permitted to serve as President. Don't know the constitutionality of a pardoned traitor attempting to be sworn in.
