Right but, "or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." is the part Trump is a traitor for and Mitch + a whole gaggle of flunkies beneath them.

Looks like I called it, and wrote it in my postscript, even as you were replying! Good show.
Porque no los dos? I think they're guilty of a lot of things not one or the other but being taken down by treason for aiding foreign powers solves the oligarchy issue. I think he's pretty much walking garbage.
It's almost like our Constitution spells out how "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiii
It's almost like James Madison knew from experience there'd be someone who would float this type of proposal, and so codified a rebuke into the supreme law of the land, some 200 years in advance.
(Postscript. The obvious next step is for you to change your mind and stop saying these random members are committing oligarchycrimes and say instead that Trump himself is giving "aid and comfort" to our enemies in Russia. I'm sure there's some lovely jurisprudence to be had getting that laughed out of the courts and wish you the best of luck.)
