"Treason" is defined in the Constitution as:
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 and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
"the phrase 'levies war against them, or adheres to their enemies' is a crucial point for the Russia scandal because it limits a treason prosecution to a wartime crime."
I don't think they can pin that on Donnie dimwit junior unfortunately

@Fernie yeah, but there is a more commonsense version of treason, that includes abetting crimes against the country by a hostile foreign government. I was asking about the commonsense use of the word.
