Even if they traitors gave the terrorists keys, maps, and
weapons to destroy millions of Americans, the President will do NOTHING.

Treason is A-OK with El Presidente,
and worse each leak to the enemy is ignored, leading
to more leaking and unnecessary deaths.

Article III, Section 3, Paragraph 1, of the Constitution of the United States:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them,
or, in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
"

The "aid and comfort" prong of treason has been interpreted
by SCOTUS as requiring proof of four elements:
1. an intent to betray the United States (which can be inferred from);
2. an overt act;
3. witnessed by two people; and
4. that provides aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.

OK with George as long as the Demwits keep supporting his Open Border and North America Union Policies.
