Look the Constitution is very very clear what defines treason. First you must have a declared war! You must be giving aid & comfort to an enemy in a declared war.
The Founding Fathers purposely made a charge of treason relatively difficult.
The Consitutional definition of treason
“..
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
