Simple definition of Treason - the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
Seems they were trying to do the latter
The US code for treason is "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason"
Trying to illegally overthrow the President of the United States while working with the Russians qualifies as giving aid in my book.
Hardly. Were they planning on making Putin president, or of surrendering control of the US to the Russian military? No, they wanted to replace Trump with Clinton. And in actual fact, the most they would succeed in doing is replacing Trump with Pence, or maybe Ryan, so they really didn’t think it through.
If you persist in trying to turn this into what it isn’t, you’ll simply waste a very good opportunity to show how the democrats have politicized the federal government.
But then, wasting good opportunities seems to be what our side is best at.
