Yes, it is op.


Capital punishment is a legal penalty under the criminal justice system of the United States federal government. It can be imposed for treason, espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases.

Remind me, is stealing the highest level of top secret documents and taking them to your private residence considered treason?

Oddly specific example

Presumably the question of whether any specific circumstances fell within the definition of the crime is a decision for a judge

I'm pretty sure that stealing Top Secret documents and holding them at your home is considered treason. Can't imagine that any recent government officials would be corrupt enough to do that though.

At this point there have been so many actions carried out that are meant to subvert and weaken the sovereignty and strength of America, that I don’t think it really applies anymore.

Nothing is a crime as long as you have a D in front of your name.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

And any (alleged 😉) docs got forgotten about.

With the amount of time you spend on all things US I find this hard to believe
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Are you saying you want someone to be executed for treason?

Overall I’m probably opposed to the death penalty

Yes. It is.
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.
