Originally posted by @kingdavid403First off, I have made no mention of 'confession' between a priest and an individual and correlated it to 'attorney client privilege', that is another matter.
If someone privately goes to a priest or minister and confesses to murder or child abuse, it is a felony crime if that priest or minister do not go to the police and report that crime; and, they have to testify against them in court. I believe This actually goes for lawyers also; ask No1 about that forsure. So tell us, why would treason be any differ ...[text shortened]... as treason. So why would Treason be covered by client privilege and not murder or child abuse?
Secondly, The 'attorney client privilege' is a matter of trust and is a financial transaction which has rules/laws regarding it, there are certain expectations by both parties, the confidentiality of conversations being a big one. If the client gives consent to his/her attorney to release information, confidential information... that is another matter.
Thirdly, regarding treason, in today's world the word 'treason' is thrown around between the political parties like nobody's business. It is easy, it is shock factor, it gets everyone's attention but has little in the way of legs (both parties do this). Evidently if I read your post correctly, you believe some treason has taken place, if this is the case what is it? Please don't just repeat the evening news, there is too much of it and most of it is bunk.
Believe half of what you read and nothing that comes out of Washington.
