Using facts, which you simply refused to accept.

I think the history of treason charges and convictions shows that there is no hard and fast "legal definition" in practice.

Do you have any facts to support that assertion, specifically facts relevant to the present day Justice system that could be applied to the assertion that Trump has committed the federal crime of treason, and could/should be prosecuted for it?

P.S. Jane Fonda, and numerous anti-war baby boomers, waved North Viet Nam/Viet Cong flags, and had pictures/posters of Ho Chi Minh on their walls.

None were prosecuted for treason, not even by Nixon’s DOJ. (Although some had their rights violated by being surveilled by Hoover’s FBI)
