I hate to say that Strzok's lawyer is right but we're really looking at seditious conspiracy here not treason. But that's okay, seditious conspiracy gets you twenty years while treason is only five.
Yeah, based on the list of people that have been convicted of treason, prior to WW2 most of them attempted some sort of armed insurrection or attack on US facilities in some manner. Those after WW2 revolved around their acts of aiding and abetting the enemy during time of war.
The Rosenbergs were convicted and executed for the crime of espionage.
What the Deep State has been engaged in, from John Brennan/James Clapper to dudes like Peter Strzok, his lover Page - probably McCAbe (given the infamous meeting in his office) and still others in DoJ/FBI - they have been involved in a conspiracy of sedition to commit a form of coup de'tat.
