There was a liberal on Fox News today who said the guy from Wikileaks should be arrested for treason. I had to laugh when I heard that.
Sure. It's OK for Obama to release sealed divorce records of Jack and Jerri Ryan when it helped him win a senate seat. It's OK for the left to go after Bush with phony papers about his time in the National Guard. It's OK for them to try to manufacture dirt on Trump. However, having someone release factual emails that show deceit and collusion by their party and their candidate is ‘treason’.
If it were not for these people, we'd never know for certain our government was/is as corrupt and we'd not know for certain this government which is supposed to be our government is actively spying on U.S. citizens, using federal agencies to attack American citizens with dissenting opinions and attempting to alter the outcome of elections by voter fraud, lies/propaganda from top to bottom in collusion with the state run media...CNN,MSNBC,ABC,CBS,NBC,NPR...and the rest.
You can’t arrest someone who isn’t an American for treason. Regardless of whether you think the leaks are a good thing or a bad thing, it isn’t treason. If you or I had done it, then that argument could be made.
I’m not even sure if he’s broken any laws. If a foreigner living in another country does something we don’t like (hacks into our emails, listens to our phone conversation, etc.), we might charge him as a spy if he ever sets foot in the US, but we can’t charge him with breaking our laws because he is not subject to our laws.
