4. Thanks for this. More:

'Again; an insurrection with an avowed design to suppress public offices, is an act of levying war: And, although a bare conspiracy to levy war, may not amount to that species of treason; yet, if any of the conspirators actually levy war, it is treason in all the persons that conspired; and in Fost. 218, it is even laid down, that an assembly armed and arrayed in a warlike manner for a treasonable purpose is Bellum levatum, though not Bellum percussum. Those, likewise who join afterwards, though not concerned at first in the plot, are as guilty as the original conspirators; for in Treason all are principals; and whenever a lawless meeting is convened, whether it shall be treated as riot, or treason, will depend on the quo animo. 4 Bl. Com. 81. 1 H. H. P. C. 133. 4. Fost. 213. 210. 215. 218. 1 Hawk. P. C. 37. 4 Bl. Com. 35. 1 Hal. P. C. 440. 8 St. Tr. 247. 2 St. Tr. 586. 7. Keil. 19. 3 Inst. 9. The evidence, unfortunately, leaves no room for excuse, or extenuation, in the application of the law to the prisoner's case. The general and avowed object of the conspiracy at Couche's Fort, was to suppress the offices of excise in the Fourth Survey. As an important measure for that purpose, it was agreed to go to General Neville's house, and to compel him to surrender his office, and his official papers. Some of the persons who were at Couche's Fort, went, accordingly, to General Neville's, and terminated a course of lawless and outrageous proceedings by burning his house. The prisoner is proved by four witnesses to have been at Couche's Fort; and so far from opposing the expedition to General Neville's, he offered himself to reconnoitre. Being thus originally combined with the conspirators, in a treasonable purpose, to levy war, it was unnecessary that the purpose should be afterwards executed, in order to convict them [2 U.S. 348, 350]

10. Other acts of war?

Here's a couple things that Putin is probably also directing trump to do: deny immigrants access as seasonal help to harvest crops. A new way to cut off the food supply. Weaken the military by dismissing trained individuals, again, immigrants. Masking the damage by focusing on immigrant labor and immigrant military service personnel, is the same as sapping a castle wall. No actual bombs are dropping, but losing jobs, facing increase in costs of living for food, medical and fuel are going to cause the same kind of fear as bombs. The cyber attack by russian military is just part of it.

12. Treason. Thank goodness more people are seeing what's been obvious to US for a long time.

Remember when he gave Russians classified intel, when he had them in the Oval Office early on in his term? The visit wasn't announced. Not sure even Congress knew. No American press or photographers were there. The only reason we know is that there was a RUSSIAN photographer, who released the photo!

17. Yep, that, too. And Jared's efforts to set up a hush/hush back channel

connecting trump ‘n’ comp with Russia - established in a Russian building?

13. What about the sentence that precedes the quoted language from Mitchell:

it is uniformly and clearly declared, that raising a body of men to obtain, by intimidation or violence, the repeal of a law, or to oppose and prevent by force and terror, the execution of a law, is an act of levying war.

20. Those actions are only Treason when done by a Democrat, IOKIYAR.

Come, come now. We know that Republicans cannot be vile, evil, and treasonous. No matter what their actions.
