45. Stop with the treason talk

Mon Jan 4, 2021, 06:07 PM

Jan 2021

Treason is two very specific things in the US, and Trump didn't do either.

The first is declaring war on the United States. Unleashing the Proud Boys, not sending Sidney Powell on a three-month-long vacation to Ulan Baator, and allowing the virus to ravage the country, while reprehensible and probably criminal, are not "declaring war on the United States."

The other is "providing aid and comfort to the enemy." Russia is more of a frenemy than anything, and Trump isn't known to have provided aid and comfort to North Korea. So, that's out.

Besides, I suspect that by the time we deal with the tax evasion, bribery and money laundering charges he was already looking at, and add in the 30 crimes the phone call to the Georgia SoS enabled, we'll be looking at the same effective life sentences that Ponzi operator Bernie Madoff and tax evader Winston Shrout got.
