I think we just do not use the word Traitor enough.

Treason has a complicated definition and is apparently hard to prove. Traitor however is basic.

Traitor: a person who betrays a friend, country, principle....

A person who commits treason is a traitor, but not sure that treason is necessary for a person to be a traitor.

I can think of so many in government. You know like Mitch McConnell is a traitor to the principles of his job.

My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!
