The shadow government is always second in command. We've especially known this about the deputy director since his start. Whatever happened to treason being a punishable crime?
Treason is much more closely defined and harder to prove. If you could do something like prove John Mccain was arming al Qaeda in libya while we were still fighting them in Afghanistan and iraq then that'd be treason.
But this stuff is more sedition than anything
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
