    It doesn’t count. You need to wage war or aid/comfort the states enemies.

    If they can prove he did something with the documents, eg sold Intel to Iran, for example, there’s likely a case. Saudi it gets complicated since the US doesn’t call them an enemy.

    Either way, nothing in the case comes close to justifying a treason charge, though he clearly was acting against the best interests of the country.

      Well, there’s the whole “comfort part” to the people who tried to do it. Its probably not enough, but he said that he loved them and has since called for the freeing of the “January 6th hostages”.

      Anyway, as the other guy mentioned, Trump is on record of requesting a list of agents, a number of those people ending up dead, and this was around one of the times that Putin met with him. And remember, Trump had no response for the reporting that Putin had put out a bounty on US personnel abroad…

        That one there is pretty much “on the nose”.

        Of course, Trump intentionally didn’t let them record transcripts of his meetings, which is not suspicious at all.
