If indeed from the Rosenberg case,Fox News, always so easy to debunk
Judge Kaufman under Section 2 of the Espionage Act of 1917, 50 U.S. Code 32 (now 18 U.S. Code 794), while sentencing Rosnerberg's
I consider your crime worse than murder... I believe your conduct in putting into the hands of the Russians the A-Bomb years before our best scientists predicted Russia would perfect the bomb has already caused, in my opinion, the Communist aggression in Korea, with the resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason. Indeed, by your betrayal you undoubtedly have altered the course of history to the disadvantage of our country. No one can say that we do not live in a constant state of tension. We have evidence of your treachery all around us every day for the civilian defense activities throughout the nation are aimed at preparing us for an atom bomb attack.
One can be said to have committed treason and still be punished under the Espionage Act
The judge is impressing his personal misuse of legal language , just as
liberal judges and attorneys misuse legal language and law now. There was no treason as Russia and the US were not at war. Had there been treason, they would have been charged with it. Phoolish libs.
