I guess my point would be that there may be, and evidently are, areas of disagreement between attorneys, judges, etc on what reaches the level of treason. Hence so many split decisions by the courts in the past.

I understand, as well, that treason is extremely hard to prove as it was designed by our framers to be so. They didn't want us to become like England under the monarchies with treason being a relatively easy thing to accuse and convict one of.

I believe in this case reasonable people can disagree on whether this reaches the level of treason. In my opinion it does but others, as evidenced in previous posts, do not. As I said before, I don't believe treason will ever be charged to Manning for a variety of reasons. The level of difficulty in trying this type case being one, as well as a weak DOJ and the lack of political will.
