how is what he spilled treason? Article III:

"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."

Feinstein accused him of "treason"

In which case, we're assuming that we're at war with either the entire world or ourselves. Either one puts us in a bad spot.

They don't need to actually convict him, only accuse him so he can be locked up indefinitely.
