Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
The Treason Clause applies only to disloyal acts committed during times of war. Acts of dis-loyalty during peacetime are not considered treasonous under the Constitution. Nor do acts of Espionage committed on behalf of an ally constitute treason. For example, julius and ethel rosenberg were convicted of espionage, in 1951, for helping the Soviet Union steal atomic secrets from the United States during World War II. The Rosenbergs were not tried for treason because the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II.
There are a lot of moving parts here. I won't pretend I understand it. One thing, though--if this is intended to reflect badly on Trump and boost Zhou, I think that's gonna backfire. But, if that's the strategery, then it shows real desperation.
Makes me ponder on how much of this type of behavior we're expected to ignore before John Q Public finally looses it in a legit way.
Or what line in the sand is finally an/the *actual line* to the average Joe that cares.
Fed up and kinda over it...
It'll sure be interesting to see whether this plays out. It makes sense, and perhaps it makes sense out of Austin refusing to testify:

Perhaps Austin was busy with the Miley news today?
One thing about this view--where does Pelosi come out? She was clearly complicit with Milley. If he goes ...? Yeah, I know she has protection, but ...
Nick Arama goes there:

And Trump, even if no longer President, continues to unmask the lies in DC.
I probably should've written in more detail re treason. Here's a link with interesting commentary that seems sound to me:

Yeah is one of those words that rates up there with "RICO" for me... Sounds all great and tough but no one ever comes to the reality of, it isn't.
Applicable only during war time and with a whopping total of 12'ish convictions in US history it's a bad path to cheer for.
It does however deflect well from the numinous other realistic charges that could apply... Which I think is often the point.

Thanks.
The multiple sourcing--as it appears to be--lends credibility, for sure.
I can smell the bananas.
Yeah, unless Congresscritters grow some stones.
Pelosi’s going down too.
