** or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. **

Joining the Communist Party and attending Communist rallies is certainly
"adhering to" and most likely "giving comfort," especially if dues are paid,
or if one hosts such meetings. Allowing a criminal to merely come into ones
home and stay for a while can be prosecuted as aiding and abetting, or
complicity. Remember Dr. Samuel Mudd, the doctor who treated John Wilkes
Booth after Booth shot Lincoln? That's where the phrase "...'s name is
Mud(d)" began.

I agree that sedition is also involved.
