Again I speculate, how numerous could the convictions for treason, followed by execution, be after the dust settles?

How numerous could they be?

LOL, I believe the last people to be prosecuted and executed for treason were the Rosenberg's and that was in the 1950s.

So the answer is zero.

Did the Rosenberg execution include some sort of change in the sentencing guidelines for treason?

(The answer is no)

I would say that means we are due.

I thought the Rosenberg’s were technically executed for espionage.

The Rosenbergs were not convicted of treason. They were convicted of espionage. The last treason charges that I'm aware of in the US concerned US citizens who joined the Nazis (or in a couple of cases, the Japanese) in WW2.
