Because the requirements for a conviction of treason are not being met. Plenty of illegal acts I would suppose, but treason is defined explicitly by the Constitution and this board consistently ignores that fact and that definition. People throw "treason" around like it is some kind of legal DDT. Don't be surprised when you are ultimately disappointed.
If you want "treason" to mean something actionable under law, it has to meet the Constitutional requirement. Otherwise, it is empty blowing of steam (which is my complaint).
But as defined in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution:
Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[2]
Only the Constitutional definition counts. Biden has not levied war against the U.S., adhered to enemies, or given them aid and comfort. I think there is also a requirement that it be witnessed by two persons (this could be satisfied by public acts). If you can find that there was war being conducted against the U.S. by a foreign power and he obeyed or helped them, that would fit. But simply being a tyrant or corrupt office-holder would not satisfy the definition. So, no.
Who? Are we at war with them, or they with us? And by what acts witnessed, by whom? If you don't have verifiable answers to these tests, you ain't got nothin'.

When you sell out your country for profit is treason to me. Maybe that doesn’t meet the requirements of the law but it meets mine. Keke

Joes action meet both definitions.
