I've noted repeatedly that accusing people of treason without a clear statement of what does and does not constitute aid and comfort to an enemy as that concept is embodied in the Constitution is a slippery slope given the looseness with which treason accusations have been bandied about by the right wing in our nation's not too distant history.

And I've said that the Russian hack needs to be fully investigated before anyone can know what charges would be appropriately brought.

Your message, boiled down to its essence, is that its treason because you say so.

Again, enjoy your day.
