While a dictionary definition of treason is more broad, the constitutional definition is limited:

The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”

I dont want this impeachment turned into a joke by our side any more than it was made a joke when applied to President Trump. There are plenty of legitimate high crimes and misdemeanors present.

Taking bribes from the CCP would be treason.
