      No, maybe not a US declared war. That being said, North Korea seems pretty happy to shout death threats at you guys.

      If I was living in the US, I don’t think that I would want those guys to have any top-secret information that could effect the country I lived in.

      One could definitely argue that exposing certain types information could be considered an attack on the US, because it’s not like bad actors would follow the US constitution to the letter. I’m going to go out on a limb, and say that anyone who buys that type of secretive information probably isn’t very US-friendly.

      Spreading certain types of information could also cause massive security breaches. Anyone who is a protected witness would be at a massive risk. Who’s to say that a bad actor wouldn’t try to mess with your currency sytem, or expose a secret military location? People generally don’t like that stuff happening either, and for good reason imo.

        To clarify: treason requires a declared war against an external entity. Sedition is what Trump did.
