Past time to use the word traitor

Russia is providing Iran with satellite technology to pinpoint our troops and t gives putin billions in oil profits.
How is this not treason? When will our representatives start using the word treason?
Sen. Gallego , to my knowledge is the only representative to refer to an obviously insane person as insane.
We need more than one representative to call out what is obvious to the entire world.

But it’s not the statutory crime of treason.

We’ve been over this before.
