What we have here is just "light treason" EP 346

This is the main clip.

This is the clip that's going on.

I don't know if you guys watch Arrested Development.

But there's a good chance I may have committed some light.

Light treason.

Now, if you watch this show, it's fantastic because George Bluth, the dad, he talks about light treason.

Well, treason is treason.

Now, what he was doing was selling houses over there in...

in Iraq to Saddam Hussein.

We can go to what the definition of treason actually is, and I did a whole show on this previously, but under the United States, the legal definition of treason is found in Article 3, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, further codified in 18 U.S.C.

Section 2381.

Here's the exact legal framework, constitutional definition.

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overact or on confession in open court.

Okay.

So.

So part of the reason I'm reading that there is because we talk about this all the time.

We talk about treason.

Technically, if you know about this guy, Jonathan Pollard was not convicted of treason.

Treason, if you go back the history of it, I did it on episode.

We're going to play a little clip here.

Episode 283.

I did a show on that episode.

The Espionage Act is what Jonathan Pollard, as an example, got for selling secrets.

Why? Because technically, even though I don't believe this is the case, we are not at war with Israel.
