发帖数: 38600 | 2 According to federal law on treason, 18 U.S. Code § 2381: “Whoever, owing
allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere,
is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not
less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000;
and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.” | b********n

United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in
adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be
convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same
overt act, or on confession in open court.” | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 4 "No matter how repugnant one might consider the president’s statements in
Helsinki, they do not meet the constitutional definition of 'treason,' which
is very narrow and addresses providing aid to an 'enemy,'" Garber told
Newsweek. "Russia is not technically an enemy because we are not at war with
it. These matters are far too important to allow partisan aims to diminish
serious constitutional analysis." | b********n

supporting harmful policies or even placing the interests of another nation
ahead of those of the United States are not acts of treason under the
Constitution,” Larson wrote in the Washington Post at the time. | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 6 How you can tell those Russian indictments last week were fake is because
they were not sealed.
If Mueller and Co had evidence and wanted to try Russians he in court
wouldnt have made them public until they were in US custody.
Now he was warned them (assuming they exist which they may not) so they will
never be in a US court and Mueller will not have to produce any evidence.
Notice that they seal indictments of those caught here so they don't flee.
It was all a ploy to embarrass Trump knowing that the MSM would characterize
indictments as convictions and accusations as facts, which they did. |
