Espionage is a different crime than treason.
Treason is almost never charged because it's defined in a very strict way.
That kid who leaked documents on discord in a very similar case was charged with six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information.
He's going to be sentenced next month.
At this point they're not saying whether or not this was a hack or a leak.
The word "treason" gets thrown around here so often that it's basically meaningless now.
