I'm not lawyer, but I think treason is giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy

I think encouraging the overthrow ofyour gov't and making harmful statement about them is sedition, but once again, I am a YMCA director, not a lawyer

You don't need to be a lawyer to understand Article III, section 3:

" Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
