The nation may need to get a grip on the possibility that the POTUS is a traitor.

Cyber warfare is still warfare, and aiding a enemy that is conducting warfare against your nation is still treason by definition. This is why so many Dems have been adamant that the actions of the Russian government are tanamount to acts of war.

Any Americans giving aid to the Russians in these acts of war are, by definition within the constitution, traitors.

Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

Bolding is mine and that's a high standard in a secretive organization.

never had a Prez. convicted of it. However, that doesn't mean he can't be charged with other crimes and impeached. Even the Pubs have a breaking point.
