Click on treason, you will see essentially what I just wrote.
When we write or revise statutes, we do so with knowledge of the law, its meaning, and intent. We codify into statutes providing for full coverage of the meaning and intent of the underlying law for law enforcement to have a clear cause to enforce the law and for prosecutors to have clear details for obtaining indictments and bringing charges.
We first note that the current scandal before us constitutes a Coup d'Etat or overthrow of the United States by entrapping and removing its President and his administration from office. A coup is an act of war. All of the below definitions share this aspect of violation, hence why they are grouped under one section. But what they don't share or what they further detail (in bold) is the reason for their segregated statements.
The Code for Treason and Sedition are:
TREASON
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies ...
SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them ...
Note also:
MISPRISION OF TREASON
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason ...
REBELLION OR INSURRECTION
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States ...
ADVOCATING OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates ...
Whoever, with intent to cause ...
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize ...
The first fact to acknowledge is the fact that FBI Agents must take an OATH https://www2.fbi.gov/publications/leb/2009/september2009/oath.htm. The same goes for DOJ personnel including US Attorneys, Deputies, Agents. Their OATH places them squarely in the context of OWING ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES.
All persons so sworn in oath who engage or participate in a coup, even a soft coup, commit treason against the United States. They are held to a harsher sentence which could be death if not prison.
Other persons who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and who engage or participate in a coup are guilty of sedition. The statute calls for a conspiracy of at least two for the crime of sedition to apply.
FBI or DOJ personnel who have taken an oath of allegiance and who have engaged or participated in a coup may be charged with both Treason and Sedition, as well as all lower statutes. The list of charges can be a great number.
Treason is such a high crime that even the knowledge of acts of treason is a form of treason (misprision) if not reported as soon as possible.
The red pill horror of the current scandal is that agents of the United States took the law into their own hands, convincing themselves foolishly that they were defending the United States while plotting and conspiring to overthrow its President. That is a true horror. As was said by many in our government who read the memo, they became sick when reading of this horror.
No doubt the deceptive or misguided thoughts of the traitors in 'defending' the United States were caused in part by an environment created by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The agents committing treason fell into a cult-like pattern of thinking causing them to forget the true meaning of their oaths or to distort it to the point that they lost or never had a firm grasp on the meaning.
As with all criminal rackets, such as Mafia or similar groups, the participants never think what they are doing is wrong. When arrested, they act surprised while expressing they did nothing wrong because that's the way business was always done (normalcy bias). They participated in a criminal business that seemed to them a normal business. But though many are unwitting participants. others are quite aware of the crimes undertaken, These are the ringleaders. As modern Al Capone figures, they set up 'buffers' and make schemes allowing for plausible deniability, all to evade justice. They are difficult to catch and convict.
IG Horowitz, and others are tasked with bringing the ringleaders to justice because the ringleaders are current and former high ranking officials. The fox is inside the hen house.
