Treason is what Ronald Reagan did during Iran-Contra, or what Nixon did to convince the S. Vietnamese not to come to the negotiating table until after he was elected.
What we're seeing now is just money laundering and obstruction of justice, to cover up the fact Trump is being blackmailed by a foreign power and to obscure the fact that power worked to help get him elected.
I do not see any premeditation. I don't even see any collusion.
The final result may not be all that different from treason, but it fails to meet the legal definition. I don't think the Trump administration actually believes they have done anything wrong, they are in denial. You see, to admit they have been conned by the Russians is as difficult for them as it is for their constituency to admit they have been conned by Trump.
When you add to that their desperate greed to implement a business environment tailored to the interests of their class, and their pathological hatred of anything they see as opposed to those interests (the "Liberals"), what you get is the grotesque set of events and personalities we now find ourselves embarrassed by.
These people will not believe any evidence, no matter how compelling, nor will they accept any judgement, no matter how just, that conflicts with their alternate reality. This is not a coherent political ideology or a consistent philosophy of government, its a fucking cult.

I don't think its treason.
