No! It is not treason. Treason is well-defined and does not cover "lying to congress", the Constitution defines treason in Art 3, Sec 3 as follows:
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. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Ok - they scrubbed every reference to sharia and terrorists (as usual)
This may seem naive, but WHY?
Good lord. Naked deceit. I mean, I knew Hillary Clinton was a liar. This completely explains her “What difference does it make?” tantrum.

We are way beyond a mere impeachment. It’s time for indictments.
Better yet, “So is it the President’s position that six months of Benghazigate is enough?”
“I don’t know nuffin’ about nuffin’.”
