    Friendly reminder that treason consists of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, not whatever heinous shit Trump does to violate the Constitution.

      I feel an attempted coup falls under treason… but hey what do I know it could be a great way to get reelected.

        I read wikipedia and as judge in this case I deem treason correct, however it is noteworthy that it also says in the article:

        The federal crime is defined in the Constitution (and is the only crime defined by it) as either levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, and carries a sentence of death or imprisonment and fine.

        To me, a coup should be covered under adhering to it’s enemies if not the first too

      One could argue that Trump is aiding Putin. There’s been more than a couple happy coincidences that have benefited Daddy Vladdy.
