If these allegations by this Whistleblower are true, then Adam Schiff has committed treason.
Huh... In a thread where the literal definition of the term has been posted, someone is still confused about what the term means.

If these allegations by this Whistleblower are true
Since Trump 1.0's FBI received them in 2017, it seems safe to say the investigation didn't turn up any corroboration.

Trump's 1.0 FBI had too many deep state people working against the POTUS.

I disagree.
That doesn’t really matter to the law.

Go disagree with the Constitution:

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states:

"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."

Schifft was certainly giving aid and comfort to enemies of the USA in my opinion.

Your opinion doesn’t mean much as far as the law is concerned. Vague claims of disloyalty won’t cut it when the constitution specifically states you need two witnesses to the overt act of treason to charge someone.

What country were we at war with that Senator Schiff was providing aid and comfort to? That’s what you need to charge someone with treason in the United States.

Actually, that’s NOT the definition of treason. The definition of treason is, according to the Oxford dictionary, the act of betraying one’s country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign (leader) or overthrow the government.

Or, according to Merriam-Webster:

Or according to dictionary.com

It has only been used once in our history, and that was during wartime, but its use is not limited to wartime according to the definition.

Interesting.

Trump’s recent move to federalize DC police only further underlines his complete inaction and dereliction of duty on January 6 when it was a mob of his own supporters rioting to overturn his election loss.

Schifft was providing aid and comfort to the Russian and Chinese government every time that he accused Trump with false lies of collusion with Russia. Also, that Democratic whistleblower has called Schifft treasonous.

I disagree.
You saying “I disagree” is not a very cogent argument.

Many of us disagree with one another and then articulate the “why’s and wherefores” of that disagreement, respectfully and with good humor.

Do as you please, by all means, but if you’re going to participate on a forum…participate on the forum, thanks.

We are in an economic and diplomatic conflict, or war, with them. They are NOT our allies.
Well it sounds like you have a really solid case there.

So when should we expect to see these treason charges be handed down?

No, that’s not what treason is.
You're missing MAGA logic:

Republicans are patriots.
Traitors are not patriots.
Democrats are not Republicans.
Democrats are not patriots.

Therefore: Democrats are traitors! And must be convicted because a certain someone was convicted and retaliation is the name of the game.

“Following the compelling case outlined by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, which exposed clear and blatant weaponization by corrupt intelligence officials acting at the behest of the Democrat Party and likely former President Obama, the Administration remains committed to conducting a thorough investigation,” said White House spokesman Harrison Fields.
“This effort aims to provide the American people with the truth about the extent to which former government officials worked to sabotage the Trump administration and undermine the will of the American people in a clear attempt to subvert our Constitutional Republic.”

This is the correct path, it's time to put everything out into the open.
Well, not *everything* apparently.

I hope he's collecting rent from Obama given how space the man is taking in Trump's brain.

Then you're at war with Canada. And Brazil. And India. Shall I go on with this list to emphasise your farcical 'argument'?

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was adamant about “stickin’ to” the narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump, despite concerns raised by a top intelligence official, top secret emails show.
Clapper described the Obama administration’s effort to revamp an intelligence community (IC) assessment on “Russia Election Meddling” as a “team sport,” and one that may require the IC to “compromise” its standards, Director of National intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed Wednesday.
