18. Putting aside for a moment that hacking is in and of itself a federal crime...

I'm confused. I haven't been watching much news lately in an effort to protect my mental health. After I posted my response I heard about Trump hoping the Russians could find Hillary's "missing emails". It's the treason thing I was asking about in the post you replied to.

Correct me if I'm wrong:

Hillary Clinton did not once use State Department computers to send or receive emails. She used her private server exclusively.

The "missing emails" Trump referred to are the ones deleted from the aforementioned server, which no longer exists.

Her private server didn't belong to the US Government, State Department, or any other entity one could be charged with treason against.

Treason? How?

not specifically treasonous, as that requires actually taking up arms. unblock Jul 2016 #2
