Aid and Comfort

A campaign manager of an American presidential campaign offered private briefings to Russia about the status of that campaign. That's what the Washington Post is reporting today about Paul Manafort. That's way worse than anything I've seen even speculated about in this Russian collusion case. Help me understand this. Doesn't that make Manafort a flat-out Russian spy? Even if he did it for money, or to pay off a debt, why isn't that treason (giving aid and comfort to the enemy of the US)?

I feel like I've entered into the Twilight Zone. Based on the lack of people freaking out about this, I must be missing something.
