 I have a problem with the word/charge of 'traitor'. It's a political crime and one which makes people very emotional.

If a person can be proved at law to have harmed his country or caused deaths, then sure shoot them or bung them in gaol for 147 years.

As for Guantanamo Bay Prison: As far as I understand it, prisoners there have not been convicted of a crime. They have been refused  the basic right of habeas corpus and the right to council guaranteed by the US constitution.

The prison is deliberately off shore with no media access so those abuses may continue.

The US kidnapped an Australian citizen, David Hicks, from a middle eastern country and held him without charge in Guantanamo Bay Prison for five years.  David is from my city and as far I can tell is (was) very naive and is also quite stupid.  The US tried the same thing on a British citizen. The Brits simply demanded he be released immediately, and he was. My government said nothing. 

Basic rights need to include everyone for people to claim a rule of law, imo.

Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/ (listen); Medieval Latin, literally meaning "let you have the body", and in context meaning "[we, a Court, command] that you have the body [of the detainee brought before us].")[1] is a recourse in law through which a person can report an unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court and request that the court order the custodian of the person, usually a prison official, to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether the detention is lawful.[2]

The writ of habeas corpus was described by William Blackstone as a "great and efficacious writ in all manner of illegal confinement".[3] It is a summons with the force of a court order; it is addressed to the custodian (a prison official, for example) and demands that a prisoner be brought before the court, and that the custodian present proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether the custodian has lawful authority to detain the prisoner. If the custodian is acting beyond their authority, then the prisoner must be released. Any prisoner, or another person acting on their behalf, may petition the court, or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called habeas corpus.[4] For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad ("protection of freedom").

Trying to stop the verification of the vote is an act of a traitor.  They were attempting to stop the functioning of the government.

Yes. And it still is annoying to me that even so called "liberal" media keeps talking about an investigation. What happened January 6th doesn't need any investigation. Trump sold lies and fear and vilification not only this election but from the start of his first run.

It is the old childish cliche "Heads I win, tales you lose." Except the asshole had power.
