... Who specifically are you accusing of treason? ...

If you look at <former FBI director James> Comey, Trump said, if you look at <former FBI deputy director Andrew> McCabe, if you look at people probably higher than that ...
... unless Comey and McCabe raised an army to take on the U.S. military or provided direct aid to countries who are officially at war with the USS ... they didnt commit treason ...
