Thieves can break and enter. Or they can just enter if an equally complicit thief leaves the door unlocked. It’s what Hilary did with the nuke secrets. She ordered the door to be unlocked allowing the CHICOMS to steal our nuke secrets. Then she cried foul when accused of selling nuke secrets.

Thank you. I’ll recalibrate. I should perhaps described the actions as espionage especially in view of the legal definition of enemy in 50 U.S. Code § 4302 and I stand corrected.
The real question is how much harm was inflicted on the USA with information given secretly to a hostile Nation. The punishment should fit that crime.

By the looser general definition US citizens see China as an enemy of the USA, however as you say that is not legally correct.
Gallop WASHINGTON, D.C. — For the third year in a row, Americans are most likely to mention China as the United States’ greatest enemy in the world today. When asked the open-ended question, 50% of Americans say China is their nation’s greatest enemy, with most of the rest, 32%, naming Russia.

“aid and comfort to its enemies”

When Milley called his counterpart in China and told him he would call and warn him about any moves by Trump he disagreed with.

TRAITOR!

I understand why you feel that way, but, once again, China is not now, nor has ever been, an enemy of the United States. We have never declared war on China, although, of course we have been at war with China.

As I keep pointing out, the Founders were very careful to define treason in the Constitution. The very last person to actually be executed for treason was some poor guy who took down the American flag at the New Orleans mint during the Civil War. His trial by military court was irregular to say the least.

Why was Jane Fonda not charged with treason when she clearly and publicly gave aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese? Because while we were fighting a war against them, we weren’t ‘at war’ and therefore they weren’t the ‘enemy’.

When Tulsi Gabbard was asked if Snowden was a traitor, she should have responded with ‘Senator, when did the U.S. declare war on Russia?’

Technical b.s. Don’t care. Try him anyway, and make the Supremes stand you down.

Then try him on the next best charge, and lock him up forever on that.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!!

ARREST MILLEY! TRY HIM FOR TREASON!!!

by your logic

there is no such thing as a

Domestic Enemy

our constitution disagrees with you.

.
we were not in a declared war with russia

when Julius and Ethel Rosenberg got the chair

but they were traitors
and were executed

The Rosenbergs were tried and found guilty of espionage, not treason. They were not tried for treason for the reason you stated: we were not in a declared war with the Soviet Union.

But let me quote the only thing that counts. Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

The only reason I am aware of this is because for 25 years I subjected my poor 7th grade students to reading and understanding every single word in the U.S. Constitution. My state’s law required they pass a test on the Constitution to receive a diploma.

Technical b.s. Don’t care.


If his actions were criminal, by all means charge him. If he violated any rules in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, punish him by all means.

But the plain words of the Constitution are not ‘technical b.s.’. Charging him with treason would be tossed out long before getting to SCOTUS.

In many, if not most, countries, treason is viewed as taking action against the government or the head of government. Googling ‘treason’ yields such results. But not in the U.S.
