It is not treason to spy on another campaign. It is criminal though, and Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment after he was caught simply covering up the spying on his opposition done by his subordinates.

Treason

the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

Is it treasonous to enlist foreign governments to spy for you?

Obama’s Justice Department charged Snowden with treasonous federal crimes under the 1917 Espionage Act. Washington Post says he probably didn't commit treason

Could also be you're on of those "depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

The treason comes in Obama aligning with foreigners against our constitution and our election process, with sedition in trying to obstruct Trump and undermine the lawful administration of government.

Spying on the campaign, probably not. Conspiring against the President-elect before they left office, that is where the treason/sedition comes in, as they were trying to overthrow the duly elected government.

They didn’t just spy on his campaign. See Flynn.

They were spying on Trump after he was elected as well.

The evidence made public so far is that FBI and CIA individuals collided with people from several other countries to first attempt to prevent Trump’s election and then, after he won, to overthrow him. If the coup does not remove Trump, the plotters at least managed to dirty up his presidency. So to say they did not commit literal Treason is ludicrous.

But the spying and attempted subversion continued into the time when Trump was President. Is that not treason?
