And if so does he qualify for the death penalty if convicted? (I'm not advocating for the death penalty, something i oppose, just musing on where a future AG could apply that, if they wanted to)
The constitutional definition of treason is pretty narrow: Read about it here if you want.

Let's assume the "there's been no declaration of war so it can't be treason!" reasoning does NOT apply here and can't be used as an excuse. In other words the courts are satisfied by arguments that "yeah, congress didn't declare it, but its a fucking war". I'm asking if he is giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy because of this:

The fact that the the Trump Administration lifted sanctions on Russia while they were helping Iran target US bases is enough to criminally charge everyone involved in lifting those sanctions . Iâm sure aiding the enemy is a crime .

Either by complete incompetence or outright betrayal, by helping Russia we are de facto helping Iran target and kill our own troops and assets. We KNOW this is going on yet Trump is NOT stopping it. Now, we cannot expect Russia to simply not help Iran, that's not why this is treason. It is treason because they ARE helping Iran, with THEIR WAR against us, at the SAME TIME we are helping Russia.
I admit there are a lot of holes here......
Like, you would have to prove that Russia wouldn't just be helping Iran ANYWAY even if we did NOT lift the sanctions. Or put another way, you would have to prove that lifting the sanctions on Russia DIRECTLY improved their ability to help Iran wage war against the US assets. I'm ASSUMING that is true, and provable (and yeah, that the Supreme Court wouldn't just hand wave away the entire premise based on "the president has absolute immunity!!!!! which honestly is probably how this would go down).
ASSUMING THIS IS ALL PROVABLE, could he be convicted for treason?
