What if there was a chance that prove treason with all of this?

Then there’s the son of the retired Supreme Court Justice Kennedy who works in that German bank.

What if a supreme court justice was involved with Russia helping get loans for Trump through his son’s bank.

Why did he retire suddenly?

The definition is very specific. Either making war on the US or joining her enemies and giving them aid.

You may be able to prove aid, but not joining (adherence).

Rivals, yes, but enemies, no. There's is no enemy to aid, because an "enemy" in the constitutional sense requires declared or open war.

I think morally speaking that Trump is a traitor, but that's not good enough for a legal case.
