When is treason treason in this country?

When it's done by the far off "enemy" and not the person pulling the levers apparently. Benedict Arnold has nothing on this one!

It's only technically treason in this country when aid is given to an enemy with whom we are formally, by declaration of Congress, at war. The point of that is to prevent a thug getting into office and then using threats of punishment for treason to keep everyone in line. Sound familiar?

Well, HOW MUCH aid does someone in our Oval Office actually have to give to an enemy to meet treason? We basically have had an beholden agent and his many sycophants, who is/was/were doing everything a Russian leader could possibly dream.

Congress doesn't declare war anymore. President's just order incursions, that last for years.

While seditious conspiracy is generally defined as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state, treason is the more-serious offense of actively levying war against the United States or giving aid to its enemies.

I would say this regime is guilty of both.
