I'm not a lawyer, I barely know the law. But I wonder why treason wasn't slapped on with the charges? Hard to prove? Either way, I wonder what the defense is going to be?

I presume they've simply stopped throwing the treason charges around because they'd be applicable to so many high-profile bastard politicians in office these days.
