(31,685 posts)The citation is the Constitution and its definition of treason.
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.
U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
Notice the mention of "War"? Now if you are going to say Russia is an "Enemy" of the U.S. how is it that this "enemy" takes our hitchhiking astronauts into space? How is it that we have, and continue to have all sorts of agreements with Russia and many other matters. That is not what "enemies" do. How is it that we have embassies in each other's countries? We don't have embassies in N. Korea or Iran.
