Nothing the GOP senators have done meets the definition of the crime of treason, which is the only crime defined in the Constitution. Treason cannot have been committed because the US has not declared war on any nation at the present time.

They are heinous, evil, bastards, but to misuse the word treason waters down its meaning.
