If trading favors with an enemy country is not treason then what is?

Got to be war time.  E.g., If I sell government secrets to the Russians today, it may cost American lives and do horrible damage andsubject me to prosecution for espionage, but not for treason. 

It might be Trump could be hammered for sabotage; there is an espionage and sabotage act.

As far as what the Russians get in return--that would be an "asset."

Imagine how happy you would be if you were the head of the FSB, for years counting yourself extremely lucky if you could turn some mid-level functionary in the CIA or State Department, then in 2016 into your lap falls the person occupying the highest office in the U.S. government, someone whose psychological profile offers a roadmap for manipulation. You'd hardly be able to answer a question like "what do we get in return" because the possibilities are now so boundless and unimaginable. Imagine your own ambassador and foreign minister in the very Oval Office, with no U.S. intel professionals hovering about, as your agents record Trump's babble about classified intel on Syria. Virtually anything the president says is automatically "declassified" so no one can prosecute him.  You want to keep that guy in office and talking to your guys, right?  As your foreign policy unfolds sans international resistance with U.S. leadership, your gifted asset just keeps on giving.
