FYI - 18 U.S. Code 2381 - Treason

[L. Coyote]

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 [center]

and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years [/center]

and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

1. Since we're still in Dick Cheney's perpetual war

That element definitely applies.

2. Unfortunately the President can declassify information.

So even though he put our national security at risk it wasn't technically a crime. That might be the most frustrating thing.

3. Russia is not an "enemy" for these purposes.

But thanks for playing.

[L. Coyote]

4. Yeah, allies flip each others elections!

Get a grip.

5. The repubs may not do so, but we follow the law

And words have definitions in the law. And Russia doesn't meet the definition. There's a reason that the Rosenbergs, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen and others who were found guilty of giving classified information to the Russians were not charged with treason.
