Is it treason to go after the next president's NSA?

'CrowdStrike, the outside firm relied upon by James Comey’s FBI to conclude Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee’s servers, was brought in to oversee the matter for the DNC by Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Perkins Coie was also the firm that paid Fusion GPS on behalf of Clinton’s campaign and the DNC to produce the infamous Christopher Steele dossier that reportedly served as part of the roadmap for the FBI to investigate ultimately disproven Russia collusion charges. The same dossier, which contained wild and unsubstantiated charges, was cited as purported evidence in four successful FISA court applications to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The FBI needed to rely upon CrowdStrike’s conclusions since the DNC did not allow the FBI to gain access to servers that were suspected of being hacked, instead coming to an arrangement with the federal agency in which CrowdStrike carried out forensics on the servers and shared details with the FBI.
Declassified testimony from Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike Services, confirms that Perkins Coie recruited CrowdStrike to handle the investigation of the DNC’s servers.
Henry also revealed that CrowdStrike’s contract on the matter was directly between his firm and Perkins Coie, which represented the DNC.
It was previously reported that Perkins Coie helped draft CrowdStrike to aid with the DNC’s allegedly hacked server. Henry’s testimony provides more specifics, including the detail about the contract being signed between CrowdStrike and Perkins Coie.
The December 5, 2017 executive session with the House Intelligence Committee was conducted at the height of Russia collusion furor — almost seven months after Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel to probe the eventually discredited Russia collusion claims.
Yet Henry’s testimony remained classified until it was released last week by Rep. Adam Schiff’s committee after public pressure from Richard Grenell, acting national intelligence director. Grenell reportedly informed Schiff the transcripts were ready to be more fully released.
Henry said he was recruited to work on the alleged DNC hack by Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussman. Henry said he knew Sussman from the period where Sussman worked at the Justice Department’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and Henry worked at the FBI’s Cyber Division.'

During his testimony, Henry conceded the FBI may have been in a better position to draw conclusions if the agency was provided direct access to the DNC servers, which the DNC reportedly refused to do.
Henry was asked whether it would have been “better” if the FBI had accessed the servers.
He carefully replied: “As an investigator, and I’ve been an investigator for almost 30 years, the more information you have access to, the better in any investigation. But it doesn’t mean that a lack of a piece of information precludes you from coming to a conclusion.”
Henry made clear there was no smoking gun evidence that Russia hacked the DNC servers but he explained the conclusion was purportedly drawn with a “high degree of confidence” based on a number of circumstantial and historic factors.
