From the Q drop:

"Define 'Treason'. [Fact] : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family : the betrayal of a trust : treachery"

"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential- actions/2018-amendments-manual-courts-martial-united- states/📁 Q"

Anybody in the DS that is or was trying to deny/prevent President Trump the presidency, would be in this category.

Treason, under criminal law, is the only crime defined in the US constitution. It is also word for word reproduced in US Code.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

An attempted overthrow of the government is Sedition.

I prefer to view this as mere labels, but if/when it gets down to brass tacks, the labels do matter.
