They really are not even close to being traitors at all though. The Lion, and his legion are one of the most loyal, this is confirmed time and again. I think a lot of people just want to see something that isn't there just for the sake of it.

I have not read Angel of Darkness but even in the synopsis, the secret referred to is the fact that a small part of their legion turned to chaos and then became the fallen, not that the Dark Angels proper are traitors.

Also in the 2 HH books dedicated to the Dark Angels, it is never alluded to in any way whatsoever that the Lion is a traitor. Nor is it implied in any of the short stories featuring the Lion either. He is one of the most loyal, anyone suggesting he or his legion are traitors really are just creating something that isn't there I'm afraid.
