In reply to the discussion: 'Thats the definition of treason': Democratic lawmaker levels serious charge against Trump admin [View all]Hassin Bin Sober
(26,324 posts)You are confusing the "act" of treason with the definition of "enemy."
The issue at hand is who is an enemy.
Unless you are saying a President and National security advisor on the payroll of, or giving in to blackmail by, an enemy is not treason. (assuming we settled the "enemy" question)
Of course the right wing will call anything, including not standing for The Pledge at a baseball game, treason. That doesn't matter.
If Russia is interfering with our elections and blackmailing senior White House staff up to and/or including The President, I think we can safely call them an enemy. Not to mention statements AND actions by President Obama prior to these acts of treason made it plain we are in conflict with Russia.
Regardless of how you or anyone else want to as if that Congressman was leveling charges in court, it's still fucking treason.
