24. Treason was committed here

Posted in another thread on this topic:

This is treason by that republican congressman.

You see back in the day, Benedict Arnold was caught stealing away with General Kosciuszko's plans for the fortifications at West Point. The British were frustrated by the superior engineering of the fortifications at West Point. They just couldn't get past them and therefore did not have free navigation up and down the Hudson River. Arnold's intent was to turn the plans over to the British so they could defeat the defenses at West Point and have clear sailing up and down the Hudson River. Arnold was caught so West Point was never taken.

To me, the analogy is just too similar. One individual is giving away architectural security plans to another individual or group of individuals who want to do our country great harm and/or defeat our country. You will never convince me this modern day version of revealing architectural engineering to an enemy of our country is not treason.

The responsible parties need to be brought to justice.

Clearly it was both sedition and treason. ananda Jan 2021 #1
