"I'm not sure I accept your "definition" of and "requirements" for TREASON"

My definition?

You didn't read well, I was quoting Chief Justice John Marshall.

You didn't read well, I was quoting Chief Justice John Marshall.

No ... you were INTERPRETING the words of Marshall. You wrote:

That leaves the next sentence: "...or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." The problem with that half of the argument, is that at the moment in time that Clinton did whatever he may, or may have not done, China was not an enemy of the US, you and I might think so, but we are not at war, they are trading partners, and we maintain embassies in each other's countries.

By that definition, you must not have thought the Cold War was a "war" ... even though the other side was KILLING or helping others KILL our people ... even though we EXECUTED (or put in prison) people who were spying for them? Those traitors shared our secrets ... much like Clinton's people "shared" our secrets. Don't you think? But at least many of the former did it for "ideological" reasons ... nothing as low as "campaign contributions" or "Swiss bank accounts". You can mince words but some of what members of the Clinton administration did was treasonable ... whether two people OBSERVED them doing it or not. Tell me, Luis, does a tree falling in the forest make a sound when noone is around?
