“Treason” is used indiscriminately without regard to its constitutional elements. Notice Barr was silent on the issue of sedition.
The problem with *seditious conspiracy* is that conspiring to use force is an essential element of the crime.
AG Barr is probably correct about treason. If you look at the actual statute, it is very narrowly drafted, and intentionally so. A law that potentially confers death as a punishment should not be over broad.
Setting aside personal feelings about the scum buckets involved; and, reaching way back to my lawyering days, it’s hard to see treason or seditious conspiracy.
That said, these pond scum broke a crap ton of other laws that, if stacked, should earn them special housing.
We’ll see how the criminal side plays out.
My dream is that the victims will hire civil attorneys who know how to bust through the “scope of employment” protection and sue the snot out of the key players *individually*.
Why should Cardinal Comey get to live out his days as a multimillionaire, which he is (Lockheed Martin/State/Hillary/contracts).
I also found that strange. I’ve thought sedition all along.
