“Our Constitution defines ‘treason’ as only during time of war.”
Isn’t the ‘war on terror’ still on?
We haven’t had a official Congressionally declared war since WWII..............
If you want to understand what defines treason go read the Burr Trial. John Marshall set the bar very very high! Basically you have to be in the act of waging war against the US. Not even planning to like Burr, Wilkinson (Commanding General of the US Army) & Blennerhasset were accused of doing. Even then somehow (There were clearly political reasons!) the Confederate leadership didn’t qualify! So given those precedents treason is a hard charge to make.
Wilkinson was amazing! Not in a good way!) If number of national scandals & anti-US conspiracies count for anything one could argue he out did Arnold! And he always seemed to come out of it smelling like a rose. After the Burr trial he continued to get trusteed military commands & court martials where he was always exonerated. Possibly he was the original Hellary Clinton!
