Misty:....while he accuses the people who investigated those crimes of 'treason' and calls for their execution.
It's my fault they committed treason?

Again, you have no idea what treason is.

From the U.S. Constitution: 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.

Who exactly levied war against the United States or gave aid and comfort to our enemies?
And FYI that only applies when we are at war.

Americans have forgotten what 'treason' actually means — and how it can be abused.

A lot of things that might seem or feel like treason to casual observers do not, in fact, come close.

In this context “enemies,” for example, must be countries against which Congress has formally declared war or otherwise authorized the use of force.

Even during the height of the Cold War, when Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were tried, convicted and executed for conveying nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union, the charge against them was espionage, not treason.

And “levying war” against the United States requires active and direct participation in an armed conflict, not just “un-American” speech or insufficient patriotism.

I'll wait to see exactly what was done, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Yeah, I'm the **** liar.
