    Treason is very narrowly defined in the Constitution and Trump will almost certainly never be charged with it.

    As Australia is not a military enemy of the US, treason is absolutely off the table here.

    This is, however, definitely a felony. Maybe he can hit an even 100.

      He didn’t discuss it with Australia, he discussed with an Australian.

      If Trump discussed this with Rupert Murdoch would you make the same argument?
