By virtue of citizenship in a country you are already assumed to have loyalty to it. So regular citizens can commit treason even if they never performed the pledge of allegiance or swore an oath of office. Whether or not the people in office signed an oath has nothing to do with whether or not their actions have been treasonous so this whole topic is a red herring. We look dumber for spending time on it
Yeah. Good luck claiming you never actually took your oath of office to get out of treason charges. If the proof is there, the American public will see to your execution no matter what some lawyer tries to claim as a technicality, or what some judge makes a fool of himself by claiming to uphold it.
Public officials are easier targets due to the oaths. They are trying to make themselves less of a target and assuming that no judge is going to remove them for being "ineligible". Actually, it is a bit of a gamble as any U.S. citizen can file for a Writ of Mandamus for $505 in Federal Circuit Court requesting a court order to instruct any Federal or State official to resign or be arrested for contempt.
Clearly they are playing games with the law here. I agree that any U.S. citizen SHOULD BE prosecutable for treason if they took money from the CCP. Period. But this is unlikely to play out this way in Civil or Criminal Court as Dems, RINOs, and their lawyers have spent 40 plus years fashioning all of these escape hatches for their blatant criminality.
It is a pre-meditated attempt to avoid criminal charges of treason under USC 18. If one does not have an oath, then one cannot violate it. Also, it allows loophole in "intent" defense which is most common successful defense in criminal trials to break the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard. Clearly Dem lawyers instructed them to do this as they have pre-gamed their own legal Defense of their actions, and they are likely assuming sympathetic judges the Dem Party has already purchased and put in place.
You are correct that none of this will matter in a UCMJ jurisdiction, and this is yet another piece of evidence that the military will need to step in and likely already has jurisdiction since we are "in a state of war".
Apparently Biden admin officials refused to sign properly executed Oaths of Office in attempt to avoid TREASON charges. Currently, zero properly executed written Oaths of Office on file in violation of Constitution and statutes. https://rumble.com/v2igsu0-breaking-smoking-gun-proof-of-bidens-treason-todd-callender.html
This is all a nonstarter. Treason does not need a signed oath to not commit treason to be treason.
Yeah, pretty sure the Rosenberg's didn't take any oath.
