(115,267 posts)it's never been interpreted that way. The Rosenbergs, for example, were executed for espionage, not treason, since there was no declared war in progress. "Treason" is often used in the rhetorical sense, not the legal sense; that could have been how Brennan was using the word. I do think what Trump did clearly falls within the category of impeachable offenses - "high crimes and misdemeanors," which are not necessarily even statutory crimes.
