It appears Praying Medic me be just a tad bit off. A quick internet search shows every trial for treason since at least the Civil War was held in Federal Court, which us not subject to the UCMJ. With that being said, I'm all about some treasonous bastards being held accountable under the UCMJ!
What about the exchange between Lindsey Graham and Kavanaugh? If you collaborate with the enemy against the US you can be treated as an enemy combatant and be held accountable by the military.
The status of an “enemy combatant” is an extraordinary legal status created by the GWB administration with many unique features, but it doesn’t have much to do with the jurisdiction of the UCMJ. When enemy combatants have been put on trial (even those held at Guantanamo for extended periods), it’s been in normal federal district courts.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes, lawfag here, this is completely correct. To be subject to the jurisdiction of the UCMJ you have to be . . . in the military.

^BINGO. These people would be considered enemy combatants and subject to a military court..
No, but a military coup would.
Which is exactly what needs to happen when the election is once again rigged.
Were any of those non-UCMJ treason trials for elected officials?
Did that include war time scenarios?
