That means that unless someone fights a war against the U.S. or helps an enemy of the U.S. then there is NO Treason.
The legal Eagles have defined an "Enemy" as someone who we are in a declared or open war with. Since we are not at war with Russia then colluding with the Russians is NOT Treason.
So, please stop with the shouting of Treason, it just makes you look stupid.
Just imho, of course.
Carry on.

Russia hacked "attacked" our election process and Trump's campaign conspired with them while they were attacking our election process, while purposely trying to change the outcome of our election.
This is most certainly treason if there ever has been..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Gillars Axis Sally never waged war against the US but was convicted of treason for being part of the Nazi propaganda machine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iva_Toguri_D%27Aquino Tokyo Rose had the same fate but she was eventually pardoned.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henry_Best Was a Nazi supporter, again part of the propaganda machine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_James_Monti defected to the SS worked as propaganda agent...
None of those people picked up arms and fought against the US, they all helped our enemies and ALL were convicted of treason.
Trump attempted to assist our enemy in order to change the outcome of a fucking election. That is a act of war in my book..
Will they get charged with treason.. No Congress would be too useless to actually set a stern example. but it was treason regardless if he is charged for it or not. Every one of this should be brought up on treason charges and spend life in prison as example that no one ever attempts this again.. As far as I'm concerned they should be shot, but our govt is too soft for that..
