Convict Donald J. Trump of Treason for Encouraging Foreign Countries to Wage Cyber War on America

During a press conference in Florida on July 27th, 2016, Donald J. Trump answered questions regarding the possibility that the Russian Government was behind hacking the Democratic National Conventions email server and leaking over 15,000 emails. After a question was asked by Katy Tur of MSNBC, Mr. Trump instead spoke about "Crooked Hillary Clinton" and her having "..deleted 30,000 emails." It was then that he held up his hand to reporters, and looked directly into the cameras. He stated clearly and concisely the following:

"Russia if your listening...I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded, viably by our press."

By encouraging believed foreign Government and Country to attack the United States cyber and put a bounty on communications of a former U.S. Secretary of State, he has committed Treason under the U.S Code of Law 2318 (full text of the law is found below).

Why is this important?

Let it be clear that this is not an attack on the GOP or the Republican Party. Mr. Trump has made statements I feel are hateful, but to try to take away his Right to Free Speech would equally take away my right to say I disagree.

Donald J. Trump on the morning of July 27, 2016, used his Right, but abused that right and broke a strict and well-defined law that should result in his incarceration for a minimum of 5 years, and make him ineligible for any public office in the country of The United States of America indefinitely.
Mr. Trump encouraged and gave comfort to Russia to pursue finding emails by a cyber attack. This is not a joke or quip, but breaks the law of our great country!

Donald Trump should be held accountable, and I would say the same to anyone who would say such a statement. With Mr. Trump's surge in popularism, we cannot let that jade ourselves in holding him accountable.

This is not the case of emails detained in the United States on servers that people question the security of years later.
Let us be clear; he did not call on American hackers, of which there are some of the best who hold positions in top companies and having inside information on preventions and backdoors. Instead, he called on a foreign country that he had 15 seconds before called, "disgusting" and "disgraceful" for their alleged actions of hacking, "..another Government's emails of a major political party..."

Instead, Mr. Trump aligned and allied himself with the Russian Government and requested they continue a cyber "war" on his country, the United States. That is baffling and repulsive, and that is not what a real American would ever say. Nor a Russian the opposite.

He made it crystal clear that he condones and adheres to Russia's unlawful attack. It is inciting and encouraging Cyber-War from another country targeting his own country, and mine, the United States of America.

By the Title 18 of the U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason is defined as, "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.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)"

Donald J. Trump has levied and encouraged a cyber-war or cyber attack from a foreign country. He has adhered, defined as the "commitment" or "acceptance of doctrine," to Russia's disgraceful attempt at inciting chaos in a countries main political party. And he has given them direct comfort by stating they would be paid heavily for doing so.

As a Proud and Strong American, I use my Constitutional Right to call on the U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress, and President Barack Obama to bring the charge of "Treason against the United States" against Donald J. Trump. (1) For his aligning and condoning to Russian agendas and illegal activity, and (2) giving comfort abroad by stating they, the hackers believed to be paid by the Russian government, would be rewarded if they succeed in the bounty he placed on the emails of a former United States Secretary of State. Putting the information within those emails would be detrimental and bring repercussions within many other countries, but first and foremost to and against the United States both at home and abroad.

Sincerely,
Matt Steadman
