I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don't wanna see him live another day, why is that?

Not an American, nor was he living in America at the time. I fail to see how "foreign citizen acts in ways contrary to my country's best interests" equals "treason".
