Trump supporters in Congress are not guilty of treason, because Article III, section 3 of the Constitution states, "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them [the U.S. was a plural noun back then], or adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Even Trump could not be found guilty of treason, unless a court stretched the January 6 violence into a "war."
