Well then maybe it's important to note he isn't on trial for treason? The charges are for hacking and espionage.

He isn't on trial for treason in courts of law, but he is in the court of public opinion - various commentators and some officials (including Senator Joe Lieberman and then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo) have used the word to describe his publishing.

Yeah, read that on the wikipedia afterwards. There was another article posted which stated that, so that's probably why I was confused.
