The break-in at the Democratic National Committees headquarters at the Watergate Hotel raises some troubling questions about just what it is that the Democrats are hiding there.

(22,565 posts)Treason:
"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."
The term "treason" gets tossed about very casually, but the Constitution gives treason a very specific definition.

(21,994 posts)"Adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort" sounds appropriate here. I know you will say Russia is not an enemy. So if one nation attacks another, the attacking nation is not an 'enemy'?
