They weren’t very secret about it.

At one hanging per hour, we’d be lucky to get things right in D.C. in 10 years.

I want to know why no one was charged with treason for aiding an enemy of the Republic?

Exactly. And nothing will happen to them because they are Democrats and the media will excuse, ignore and spin. And Republicans will do nothing to bring them to justice.

John Kerry’s daughter married and Iranian whose father is a high government official, and they hobnob over the dinner table. Kerry is loathesome.

So, where the hell are the treason charges?


We are not now or ever have been at war with Iran. I believe the last time we were at war with anybody was in 1945. There should be lots of crimes associated with this kind of thing, but treason is not one of them.

All that said, nobody is going to be punished for anything they did to undermine the diplomacy of the Trump administration, it’s how the deep state rolls.

I guess I didn’t know it had to be in a declared war.

Even so, there should be some sort of charge that applies to negotiating without the consent of the President.

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

“or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Did you forget this part?

No, I didn’t. But I believe that ‘Enemies’ in this context refers to nations with which we are at war. And war has to be declared by Congress, which hasn’t declared war on Iran (or anyone else since April, 1942).

I realize that we have fought lots of wars since WWII, but none have been declared, so none of them are officially ‘wars’.
