"Mr. Trump, what are your thoughts on the strict immigration legislation currently in place in glorious Arstotzka?"

I believe that most people talking about treason do not mean it seriously, but rather poking fun at the talk of treason by Hillary from Republicans. It's just like telling Trump he has small hands, it's fun to make them come to the defense of his statements.
Am I late?

this might be considered light treason

"Mr. Trump, what do you make of the recent reports detailing Iran's private acquisition of unobtanium from an unnamed vendor in Kwybekistakistan?"

Treason. The GOP will eat it up though.

What sort of fucking lunacy would it take for Trump's base to actually abandon him?

Trump is still acting like he's on a reality show where he can just say outrageous things to appeal to a certain audience and get ratings.
The problem is he's so loose with his words that he's making treasonous statements either incidentally or by design. Very reckless and at some point it's going to have consequences.
Trump has been able to get away with making crazy watergate-esque statements because he's seen not as a standard politician so he's not held to the same standards. But now that he's the official Republican nominee, he can only get away with these type of statements for so long. Especially when he does seem to have a thin skin, at some point I think government officials will wonder if he's capable of keeping things in perspective or will he use his power for retribution and personal vendettas.
If I was a Republican in Congress, I would be running scared. At least if Hilary gets elected, they can galvanize their grassroots and conservative media similar to the Bill Clinton and Obama years.

Nope, they're already doing damage control. While he's 'officially' endorsed, it's pretty clear the actual party is only behind him halfheartedly.

Look, civil wars are a big mess. Very, very messy. And someone is causing that mess. It needs to be dealt with. Whos going do it, you? No, the Chazwikistani know whats best for their own country, just as we do for ours. So, heres my plan: we find out who is making the mess. And we clean it up. All of it, wiped. We cant have mess in our backyard.
Ive heard from many people that Arstotzka is not a good place for business. It could be. Laws get in the way of business, all the time. Were changing that, right here. And other countries will take notes. Were the example. An amazing example. They can follow or get out of our way. Nobody wants to talk about Arstotzka when were done.
Id send Carl Ichan to Wakanda. Hes a great negotiator. We cant have a trade deficit with some African dictator. Theres a better deal here, its on the table. Were going to take it off the table. Were going to get the vibranium. All of it.
See, this is what happens. Our great African-American president cozies up to Iran. And now they have the Kwybekistakistani metals. Do we know what they could do with those metals? No, we dont. Do we trust them with those metals? Dont be stupid. Ive never seen an Iranian drink Diet Coke.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Hell forget all that I'm even scared of him getting the standard daily intelligence briefings that candidates running for president get.
Honestly, absolutely nothing. While this is an extreme statement, Trump could declare himself President for life once elected and his base would embrace the decision. Trump could follow through on everything he said he would do: build a wall at the U.S./Mexican border, have ALL Muslim Americans on a watch list, have patrols in 'Muslim neighborhoods' (whatever that means), block access to the country for people from certain regions, pull the U.S. from NATO, everything. Trump could decide to throw journalists, judges, or politicians in jail for disagreeing with him and his base's reaction would be "Yay! Get those libruls!" without even realizing that would break America as a republic and as a democracy.
You'd hope that Trump is doing a lot of this for show and will be smart about getting people who understand domestic and foreign policy and dial back the pronouncements.
Most of the Republican Party just shrug their shoulders, not even taking Trump seriously or even pretending to understand what this will be for America. Mitch McConnell can't even muster any emotion when asked about statements Trump is making that make him and his Party look bad. Trump having the power of the pen as President should give them pause.
My hope is if Trump is elected (which is becoming a very real possibility every day), he will dial it back. I don't see it happening, but I can see a lot of his own Cabinet having to react to him during the entire presidency and Trump deciding to fire Cabinet members at live press conferences for seeming miscues.
Trump identifies himself by the amount of his stated wealth. Hardly a controversial statement- but I finally realized why he defends it in such an insane fashion- nobody is going to license his gaudy atrocity of a brand unless the image of billionaire wealth is actually true. If he's outed as a mere millionaire then his beard is literally worthless.
And that's all he has. A tissue thin veil of wealth upon which he projects his illusory value.

Wow, so apparently there is a limit! And it's somewhere north of advocating for Russia to interfere in the American government. That's all it took.

Or just bullshit about existing countries. "Would you agree to risk sanctions on south Korea because they violated the pacific-atlantic pact with US in trading with Japan?"
"What should we do about the persistent stories about the workforce of a confectionery factory having a large amount of undocumented immigrants from Loompaland?"
Does no one remember last year when a foreign leader was brought by Republican members of congress to give a dressing down to their own leader and president using information obtained through espionage? Israel used espionage against Obama and the white house to obtain their details for the Iran nuclear deal. They provided these details to Republican members of the congress who then invited Netanyahu over to insult and denigrate Obama and also wrote a letter to Iranian ayatollahs talking about going behind the US President's back.
The dude should be thrown in jail immediately after shouting something like that in the position that he's in, its LITERAL treason. But because of the money and power that he's got, that's not going to happen. Which is par the course in America.
It's better the information get sent to the FBI than held as blackmail.
What do you mean by that?
If there's anything in the 33,000 emails Clinton deleted that you'd consider it treason to be hacked, than that'd be evidence of a Clinton lie. She would be subject to blackmail by those who have the info she'd lied about.
By the way, it's not treason to request Russia submit evidence of a crime to the United States.

What does the content of the emails have anything to do with it being treason or not?
Nothing in the law says that it has to be classified content etc.
