    Not really. It’s in line with all US laws to ask for the death penalty

    18 U.S.C § 2381, states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

    Considering the scope and impact of his crimes. It would be reasonable to ask for the maximum punishment.
