Peter King actually said...
I think he's a defector or traitor. I guess take your pick. What he's done is incredible damage to our country. He's going to put American lives at risk. I don't know how he can live with himself. A traitor is as good as a term as any. I think he's violated the espionage act. In my mind, yes, that would make him a traitor, yes.
