No. that was not treason. Not even vaguely. RetiredGySgt has been pointing this out and rightly so. Underhanded perhaps. Ethically questionable certainly. Treasonable? Not even close. People really do need to read the Constitution.
Yeah, it was Treason by the dimocrap scumbag Kennedy...
Article III Constitution US Law LII Legal Information Institute
Section 3.
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.

Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked The Soviets To Intervene In 1984 Elections
Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”
THAT, my short-peckered friend, is Treason. It doesn't have to be during a Time of War. the dimocrap scumbag piece of ******* shit Kennedy offered to HELP THE SOVIET UNION IN ITS DEALINGS WITH THE POTUS......
Ostensibly to help them gain an advantage in their favor by doing so. A Foreign Power. Sworn to our destruction. Publicly, "We will bury you!"
That is TREASON by ANY DEFINITION.
Period
I am not surprised that scum of the earth dimocraps wouldn't understand Treason if it bit them in the ass because -- Well, you're all so guilty of suborning it every day
