That is not treason, but I'll tell you what is treason.....selling weapons to an avowed enemy, eg Iran, like Reagan did.

Unites States Constitution
Section. 3.
Clause 1:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

United States Code
Sec. 2204. Definitions
As used in this chapter -
(2) the term ''enemy'' means any country, government, group, or person that has been engaged in hostilities, whether or not lawfully authorized, with the United States;


Now I've told you what treason is. We were not engaged in hostilities with Iran, so Reagan could not have committed treason.
