If you think a president should have the absolute power of a king maybe..

Unelected, unknown, unaccountable policy saboteurs working against the will of the people... isn't a constitutional check on the executive branch, it's treason.

Shall we start hanging every opponent of the sitting president or is this one different because reasons?

I see, and what foreign power is the person in question spying for? Eastasia perhaps?

Perhaps a rogue domestic political party that has been using the organs of the state to maintain their unpopular power or sabotage their legitimate rival's mandate to govern.

So much for foreign power. Now we’re back to hanging political opponents.

No, secret saboteurs aren't political opponents.

See, this is why all this talk of peaceful transitions of power is pure gaslighting & projection. We still haven't had a peaceful transition of power from the last administration.

.

Nor are they committing treason. Words have meanings, especially when dealing with the law regarding capital crimes like treason.

I can see elements of their actions in all 5 of these. Perhaps treason isn't the most applicable charge. Maybe it is. Afterall, unless I missed an update, this person is still unknown and in place. We don't know who or why their doing this. Can't rule anything out till then.

An infiltrator meant to subvert the elected will of the people.

Sounds like treason to me.
Unless, of course, the whistleblower is NOT subverting the will of the people, but instead revealing the crimes and abuses of power of the sitting administration.

Turns out that LOTS of people from inside the current administration all seem to have seen the same thing.

Those are called whistle blowers, and we have procedures for that. This isn't whistle blowing.

Ipso facto, it’s not treason. Words mean things.

You really shouldn’t be so comfortable throwing that accusation around.

I'll stand by my assessment. In light of all other resistance actions, treason.
