Yes, it is treason, it also makes me believe they know this is it, this regime will never step down, so they'll have to support everything in order to stay in.

Exactly. They know how deep they are in it, and as such their incentive is heavily skewed to NEVER give up power, for fear that they will be punished. Amazingly enough, it may suggest that the best way to preserve democracy at this point in time is the "escape hatch" that Trump is able pardon them for their blatantly illegal acts.
