1. and so does the Constitution!

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000.

2. $10,000 in the late 1700s is equal to how much in 2018?

Even Biden said, "That is treason" when he and Obama were informed of the collusion with the moron's campaign and Putin after the election but before the inauguration.

14. (this isn't the Constitution--federal criminal statute)

Constitution only gives a broad definition of treason, but does not define the penalty. 18 USC 2381 fixes the penalty.

[elleng]

18. Article 3, Section 3 defines treason, and discusses punishment.

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.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
