Not to mention the Rosenbergs in the 80s (70s?), and the FBI director investigated and tried in the nineties, though I'm not sure if he was ever convicted... Story just sort of dropped out of the news cycle as I recall...
Yes. The Rosenbergs trial happened in the '50's. They were executed by electrocution.
The Rosenbergs were convicted on March 29, 1951, and sentenced to death under Section 2 of the Espionage Act. The couple were the only two American civilians to be executed for espionage-related activity during the Cold War. Judge Kaufman noted that he held them responsible not only for espionage but also for the deaths of the Korean War, since the information leaked to the Russians was believed to help them develop the A-bomb and stimulate Communist aggression in Korea. Their case has been at the center of the controversy over communism in the United States ever since.
Unbelievable ! back in the 1800s for pulling a flag down, my God look what these treasonous demons have done since with no punishment /accountability whatsoever! This man’s name , his photo , and his execution for dishonoring our flag should be all over Twitter as a reminder of how far we have fallen.
How many times have we heard treason …death for treason is execution!!!!!
sounds great but look at this.. it’s as if treason is no longer a crime ! Thank you so much I’m a bit shocked but I’m sure glad to know the truth here wow I’m actually going to look this up, this man’s name should be trending ,,, who is William Bruce Mumford ????
what i mean is that traditionally the punishment for treason is death. although i'm not sure the last time that sentence was carried out.
Exactly! I doubt it’s happened in 100’s of years . great research,,when was the last time someone was executed for treason !
