Ok...he has the right to do this at this time in history. I still think this is traitorous behavior...which makes him a traitor.

Did you say "that stupid jerk" or worse when PUEBLO happened and LBJ did nothing?

A while back Rush Limbaugh popularized the phrase "Words mean things". Unfortunately, nobody seems to know or care what they mean anymore.

Definition: Article III - 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.

Bolton is not levying war against the United States, so there's no treason there. Nor is he adhering to our enemies or giving them aid and comfort. He is in fact sounding the warning alarm against our enemies (North Korea) and trying to rally support to confront and defeat them.

The Bush Administration and State Department, on the other hand, ARE actively and insistently giving aid and comfort to our enemy (North Korea) in the form of money, diplomatic perks, and forgiveness of their terrorist activities.

Therefore, by the actual definition of treason found in the Constitution, the treason in this scenario is being committed by our own government.
