Compounding Treason

Compounding treason refers to the act of a person, typically a government official or authority, who has knowledge of treasonous activities but chooses to overlook, ignore, or conceal them. Instead of reporting or acting against these acts that threaten the state's security or integrity, the individual effectively "compounds" the crime by allowing it to continue, which can lead to more significant harm to the nation. This concept emphasizes the responsibility of individuals to act against betrayals of their country and not permit such actions to go unaddressed.
