Benedict Arnold - Defected to British Empire during Revolution
John Wilkes Booth - Assassinated Lincoln at end of Civil War
Lee Harvey Oswald - Assassinated Kennedy
John Walker - Sold communications and patrol sectors of United States Navy submarines to the Soviets for over 20 years
*Hillary Clinton - Private e-mail server that was most likely compromised by the Russian Federation and China. Sold favors to foreign governments for money to Clinton Foundation.
I'm not going to take sides in this discussion. I just presented historical facts and current events.

I guess it depends how you define "sold favors to foreign governments" while she was the Secretary of State. On the other hand, most politicians worldwide do something similar, I guess.

Which should just remind us all how messed up the system is when treasonous acts are commonplace.

I agree the email thing wasn't treason. Though for me it is hard to see how anyone couldn't see the whole "sold favors to foreign governments in exchange for Clinton Foundation money" as treasonous?
I mean yeah I get it she isn't the only one who does it, but just because she isn't the only person guilty of something doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to it. Politicians should not be selling favors to ANYONE. The fact that our attitude is to shrug our shoulders and just go "that's politics" is alarming.
Maybe I'm overreacting? After all I know when our former governor Rod Blagojevich was on trial he just went "that's politics" and all charges were dismissed.

It's apparently okay to do this. You only cross the line when you try to do things like sell empty senate seats or something.
