  1. I'm not even taking sides, to the extent of my knowledge it's only treason if you're selling out secrets, not if you're making deals while campaigning.

    1. @nerthos By definition, you can only commit treason in a time of war.  But usually you are committing a crime if someone's accusing you of treason regardless of that technicality.

      1. @maiyannah That makes a bit more sense. I understand now as matt explained that setting up deals before being in office is illegal there, but the whole treason thing was a bit too much to me.

        1. @nerthos It might be "illegal" but literally every president in the last ... half a century, if not more, has done it.

          1. @maiyannah That I did mention early, and not only in USA.

          2. @nerthos Noteworthy is that Hillary had already literally sold cabinet positions, that was revealed in the leaked emails.
