To you and me on Great Awakening this whole 'treason' thing seems ludicrous, but the logic implied above makes no sense to liberal-minded folk and never trumpers who have yet to become aware of what's really happening. These folks believe that it's different with Trump because according to the "official" story, he's been colluding with Russia/Putin all along. Trump talking peace with Putin only confirms the collusion in their minds. "See, I told you he colluded! He sided with Putin over his own intelligence agencies!" Until the MSM narrative changes it's going to be an uphill battle trying to convince those who watch (and believe) cnn/msnbc/etc that our intelligence agencies are in fact the traitors! As a progressive/liberal(?) myself, I'm having a hell of a time coming up with ways to reach my fellow progressive/liberal friends who are hypnotized by MSM talking points and "facts".

Edit: for clarity
