But now that he's admitted to treason in open court... he should be charged.
P.S. Don't give me double jeopardy... he was never charged with treason.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
I take the above to mean that he would have to confess to being a traitor and his plea arrangement did not involve being a traitor.
Educate me.
