I’m beginning to wonder if treason exists. As much of it seems to be around these days, and nothing ever seems to happen to counter it.
Treason
Sedition or even
violating the Hatch act of 1939
Treason 1952:

Tomoya Kawakita, the tormentor who came home, World War II.
Kawakita, born in California, went to Japan in 1939 when he was 18 to visit his grandfather. He stayed, never renouncing his U.S. citizenship. He was employed as an interpreter with a Japanese nickel company. He was never conscripted, but Japanese authorities used him as an interpreter in a prisoner of war camp.
He readily joined in the abuse of American prisoners, “going beyond any conceivable duty of an interpreter,” according to the U.S. Supreme Court. He beat some, pushed another into a cesspool and forced the obviously ill into hard labor.
After the war, he re-registered as a U.S. citizen and returned home. His former victims, who knew him as “Meatball,” spotted him and turned him in, and he was sentenced to death for treason in 1952. President Eisenhower commuted his sentence to life in 1953.

SEDITION: 2010
On 28 March 2010, nine members of the Hutaree militia were arrested and charged with crimes including seditious conspiracy
Charges: A federal grand jury charged all nine Hutaree Militia members arrested with seditious conspiracy, attempting to use weapons of mass destruction (in this case, primarily improvised explosive devices), and using a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. David Brian Stone and David Brian Stone, Jr., were also charged with teaching/demonstrating the use of explosive materials. These two, as well as Joshua Stone, Joshua Claugh, Michael Meeks, Kristopher Sickles, and Jacob Ward were all charged with a second count of the same violation.
Seditious conspiracy is a serious charge, rarely invoked, involving two or more persons conspiring to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the government of the United States; or to levy war against the U.S. or oppose by force to prevent the execution of U.S. law or seize property of the U.S.

HATCH act.
Charges issued or alleged, but does not look like there have been convictions.
Oh it exists alright. The problem is that the favored position Of the American Establishment is the destruction of America. That makes treason a virtue in their eyes.
