While broadly speaking, Treason is a capital offense, just as killing someone is, broadly speaking, a capital offense, one would need to look at the specifics.
The object of those involved was to get Hillary elected, and those doing so thought that this was best for the U.S.
Someone who kills someone while driving drunk shouldn’t get the chair; someone committing this crime should be sent to a prison that has been subject to the prison equivalent of busing so that they may have prisonmates that reflect the cross-section of the American prison population. They should not receive the benefits of any white privilege.
Segregating prisoners into different prisons is racist unless all prisons have the same racial composition.
That was only the objective of some of those committing treason. Much more was covering up their underlying treasonous crimes. (E.g., Uranium One, but many more, such as the real Benghazi story, etc.)
And the racial composition of prisons, etc., is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand, whatever sarcasm/parody intended.
I disagree. If someone willingly takes a recreational drug with a weapon at hand for use while under that influence and USES that weapon against a innocent person, they should get the electric chair. The situation was premeditated.
Maybe so
But it is a tool used by the deep state
Read what the British court system did to Tommy Robinson
Robinson says that after being initially housed in a prison with a low Muslim population of just 7 percent, he was transferred to another prison with the largest Muslim population in the UK, and housed directly across from the mosque. Robinson tells Tucker: "What I'm known for is criticizing Islam, so there's been many planned attempts to murder me and kill me in this country."
He said he was placed in solitary confinement where he spent "two months not seeing or speaking to anybody," during which he lost 40 pounds from a diet of "one tin of tuna and a piece of fruit a day."
was supposed to be in Her Majesty's prison service, not Guantanamo Bay. I couldn't open my windows because I have excrement and spit put through them. I believe this whole piece - and, Tucker, this isn't the first So, every prisoner would walk past my cell window. Everyone, as they walk out. So, when my windows were open, every prisoner is walking past. But the mosque for the prison was directly opposite my cell. -Tommy Robinson
Robinson said he had to close his window amid sweltering heat spells to avoid all the excrement and spit flying into his cell from passersby. He also said, reluctantly, also admitted that he was diagnosed with a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which he has never spoken about publicly "because I don't want to insult members of the military who have witnessed war to try and compare to being locked in a cell in solitary confinement."
Robinson also describes his arrest, and claims his lawyer (solicitor) has evidence that authorities said he was being released - only to be jailed hours later.
I'm not so sure they thought this was best for the U.S. They thought it was best for THEM. Now hillary appears to have been selling American secrets to our enemies by placing bargained for information on a server for our enemies access through fake hacking. If the Uranium one scandal can be traced to her I think she has committed treason. At a time of war I think she could possibly face capital punishment but under our current situation I think It would be long jail time, as in she won't ever get out if fully prosecuted and found guilty.
Apparently they spied on Trump while he was President. This is clearly Espionage. They used foreign sources and assets in a blatant attempt to undo the election and overthrow the government. I think Treason is an accurate term.

“...or adhereing to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
Asinine. By that logic Communist or Islamist infiltrators would think their ideology "was best for the U.S."
They intended to overthrow our government from within - doesn't matter if they had happy-little-thoughts while they were committing evil.
