It might not count as treason perse because we aren't actually at war with Russia, but it's definitely super illegal
The whole part about it not being sold for unknown reasons yet no one knowing where it is is bizarre as fuck.
We're not technically at war with Russia so unfortunately I don't think they be actually charged with full blown treason.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Actual, literal treason.
According to Cornell:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Guess they walked in a didnt ask for the cultural attaché.
For everybody wondering, there are no cultural attachés in ambassies. Its a cover title and position for intelligence officer or spy.
Of course. In fact, they consider themselves to be the only "true Americans."

Surely, if you're Russia, you'd spend some resources trying to hack the thing?
We're SO lucky that these Y'allQuaedas aren't very smart because succesfully selling pelosi's laptop to the COD villains would be a massive, like epoch defining security breach for the US
Russia is not officially an "enemy" of the US right now, that requires more than just being a nation on bad terms with us. The crime here would be espionage, which would still have a very severe punishment
Russia-US relations are a hilarious back and forth. First they were our mortal enemy, then we (well, Clinton, Bush Sr, IMF, and World Bank) asset-stripped the country, impoverished its people, and staged a parliamentary coup for Yeltsin, then the Russians strike back by rallying under Putin, who now messed with our own elections and politics.
I mean, I know the answer is "Because they're idiots, but how you reconcile selling state secrets to an enemy with being a true American?
And does this woman believe Russian collusion got Trump elected? Or are Trump people now done acting like that didn't happen? It's insane to me that so many people so just absolute morons like this and think "Yep, that's the side I wanna be on."
Not if you're a young white woman. You can do whatever the fuck you want, as we saw the other week. Except for the one who got shot lol
I thought Pelosi was in bed with Russia and China already. So why steal it and speed up the process. /S
Because she thinks she's helping to uncover widespread voter fraud which will show her guy actually won in a landslide. She doesn't give a shit who helps and among hardcore conservatives there's a lot of adoration for Putin and Russia's authoritarianism. They want the exact same style of governing in America.
Not sure where you heard that, but I'm pretty sure they don't make up fake jobs for a spy's cover. That's be a shitty cover. The whole point of a cover is that it's a real job, not a blaring red flag that says "this person is a spy."
General rule of thumb: any sure-fire method you've heard of to out a spy is probably a lie, or else the entire occupation just wouldn't work.
I honestly don't know. Back in 2016, I saw right-wing nutjobs telling a friend "You need to vote for Trump! He will keep Russia in line!"
And then we have people on their side doing shit like this....... Like......what?
You really think that? I doubt many Trump voters could tell you a single thing about Russia, let alone how Putin governs. They may have some vague idea that he rigs elections.
If she truly believes she's uncovering fraud, why not just send evidence to Cruz or Hawley or Hannity or whoever?
I would bet money the entire thought process was "Liberals get worked up about Trump and Russia, so I'll send Pelosi's laptop to Russia." Either that or she read some nonsense on 4chan or whatever that made it make sense.
It was actual literal treason long before that...but sure, I guess this is the cold war esque image of treason people have in their heads.
the tech became ubiquitous and exposed the tawdry nature of america
Yes of course. They are after all white so how can they be bad? /s
I mean correct me if im wrong, but if she truly did contact someone with the intent of selling perceived National documents and secrets to a adversarial government, that would technically be giving "aide and comfort" in a way that would betray the country?
Im guessing it's probably more narrowly defined than that given how few convictions have arisen from treason, but there has to be a more serious charge than what they are currently pursuing her for? And curious what that would realistically be once they catch and build a case?

pictures you can smell
Plotting to commit actual treason like a filthy commie to prove your patriotism and own the libs.
