Look up the constitutional definition of treason.

In the absences of a declared war, there will be no treason charges.

I know the definition of treason. In the context of federal election fraud, it’s intent and treachery to disrupt/change the function/control of government by subterfuge and fraud has been commited.

There are elements of treason which fall under the definition of treason and/or align with the legal aspect/nature of treason.

Indeed fraud/subterfuge to seize control of the functions of government falls SQUARELY in line with the definition of US Code: ‘Treason’

Federal election fraud is a means, intent and unlawful act to overthrow/seize control of the US government.

Treason may include “espionage” (spying for a foreign power or doing damage to the operation of the government and its agencies, particularly those involved in security) but is separate and worse than “sedition,” which involves a conspiracy to upset the operation of the government.

A betrayal of a private citizens allegiance to his/her country or betrayal of the oath of a public servant to use his/her office under color of law to collude with foreign powers; to aid/abet enemy actors to commit crimes against the united states by allowing the deliberate breach, transmittal and access to the security walls of the United States. And accepting bribes, payments and favors to that end for the purpose of influence over the functions and control of US government.

Yes... I would say unequivocally that these traitors have committed treasonous acts against the United States.

I don’t seen any mention of declared war. A person who owes allegiance to the US levying war can easily mean (and scholars can chime in if they’re around) acting to overthrow the legitimate goverment of the US, I would assume.

18 U.S. Code § 2381.Treason
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.

Misprision of Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

Or maybe Insurrection or Sedition, but one would have to include another country to be treason. The US may not be in a declared with with China, nor China with the US, but China is certainly acting as an enemy, plus CCP virus bio-wawrfare attack.

Few more for fun:

18 U.S. Code § 2383.Rebellion or insurrection
