I asked several people what they would do if, as the next President, they were tasked with deciding whether the DOJ should pursue execution or a lesser sentence. All answered "lesser sentence" because of the optics and ethics of choosing otherwise, and because it eliminates martyrdom, and therefore wins the battle. Think I agree.
Treason is a pretty strong word to use. Here is the legal 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 overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
As someone that practices law, what are your thoughts?
