Related: About this forumTrump pressuring Mike Pence to overturn election results is additional evidence of Trump's treason
The evidence is mounting that Donald Trump not only obstructed an official proceeding and conspired to commit offenses against the United States, as federal judge David Carter found (by a preponderance of the evidence), and not only incited an insurrection, and not only is part of a seditious conspiracy, but that he also "levied war against the United States", which constitutes the crime of treasons (18 USC section 2381).
The evidence of Trump's pressure campaign, attempting to coerce then -Vice President Mike Pence to corruptly overturn the election results, is further evidence on Trump's treason. - Glenn Kirschner 06/16/2022.

You're right, that's the term that Woodward and Bernstein used, but those are Kirschner's captions

(25,457 posts)1. Treason doesn't apply unless there is a declared war
I don't know why people insist otherwise. Sedition is correct. Treason is not.
If the Rosenbergs didn't meet the standard of treason, Trump sure as hell doesn't.

Thank you for the clarification.
Now, let's nail the MF'er for every and all crimes he did, and I'm sure they are beyond 'treason' and/or 'sedition!'
