Ramifications aren't that important when it comes to treason. I'm blanking on the guy who spied for Israel, but he's been in the joint forever. Miss Manning went in with open eyes and knew what the consequences were. I realize everything is a reality show with no blowback to 20somes, but this is the real world.

Look at it this way. The guy from As I Lay Dying wanted his wife gone. He put out feelers, found a contractor and went to make final arrangements with the guy. Contractor was a cop...as they sometimes are. Handcuffs and perp walk. The wife was never in danger, but he's still going to do time.
