Traitor.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason

18 USC §2381

You missed the next part "unless it's election season, or they held office at the time, because then it might be official treason, and that's okay."

Those laws only apply to poor people who whistleblow about the oligarchies crimes.

No, this law was last used to prosecute Cold War spies.

Snowden was prosecuted for leaking national secrets, not treason. To be fair, he is technically guilty, but it would be a travesty of justice for him to be punished for it. I'm glad the Justice Department decided to let him off.

Yes but irrelevant here

He’s just making fun of Biden
