IN LAW ACTS AGAINST ONE'S NATION IS CONSIDERED TREASON.
A PERSON WHO COMMITS TREASON IS KNOWN IN LAW AS A TRAITOR. "IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR A PERSON TO SOLICIT, ACCEPT OR RECEIVE A CONTRIBUTION OR DONATION FROM A FOREIGN NATIONAL.”; “RUSSIA, IF YOU’RE LISTENING, I HOPE YOU’RE ABLE TO FIND THE 30,000 EMAILS THAT ARE MISSING. I THINK YOU WILL PROBABLY BE REWARDED MIGHTILY BY OUR PRESS". 7/27/16; TRUMP CALLED ON A FOREIGN ADVERSARY TO LOCATE AND RELEASE SOMETHING THAT WAS OF GREAT VALUE TO HIM AND HIS CAMPAIGN. IN USING THE WORD “OR,” THE STATUTE MAKES PLAIN THAT THE ACT OF SOLICITATION IN AND OF ITSELF IS A VIOLATION. THE DANGER OF TRUMP’S WORDS CAN BE SEEN IN THE FACT THAT RUSSIA TOOK THEM BOTH SERIOUSLY AND LITERALLY.
