18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason....not hard reading....
Further reading.....
"Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
The Treason Clause applies only to disloyal acts committed during times of war. Acts of dis-loyalty during peacetime are not considered treasonous under the Constitution."
You should note..."enemies" and "war" are the bullet points and I don't remember POTUS having asked Congress to declare war or referred to Russia as an enemy....certainly Putin is a reprehensible shit wagon.... but I have enough faith in our current POTUS to know the meaning of Treason well enough to debunk your false declarations.....
The Rosenbergs weren't tried or convicted of treason...for spying for the U.S.S.R.
If you want to show me wrong you'll have to show President Obama wrong.
Can you do that?
