6. Stop using logic, what did I tell you about that?

they can't so the use the next best thing, public assassination. And when that fails, bring him up via "diplomacy" on trumped up charges.

See how it works?

we are a sad nation.

9. You're mistaken - the subpoenas cite the investigation

of possible violations of the Espionage Act <18 U.S.C. 793> - gathering and/or transmitting defense information and related offenses, not treason.
